Dark, somewhat stewed fruits with a quality that kind of reminded me of preserves yet, it was quite light on its feet.

No, it's not Cru Barolo. But it's damn good nebbiolo that's open and accessible and pretty and aromatic and textured and balanced and a remarkable bargain. Classic cherry/roses/orange peel/tar profile hung on a pretty easy structural frame (for nebbiolo, that is). Develops nicely over two days.

Never really opened up well. Tannins strong, earthy, few graceful notes of the fruit

Bright cherries and floral. Thin body, but quite enjoyable.

Wasn’t sure when opened. After setting the wine opened up. Light red color. Smooth, silky very satisfying and enjoyable

Highly rated but I found that perhaps due to the type of grape is a taste that needs to be accustomed to. Pale color. Bought at Katsumi Shokai for ¥4,617.

A light bodied wine that is delicious with aromatics that continue to expand as the wine opened. A value in its category - over delivers at this price
