Another cracking 2012 Langhe nebbiolo. Already cx aroma of wild berries, mineral and a touch of savoury meats. Generous attack, red berry melange, medium weight, nicely coated tannins in the crisp finish. Yum!

This was super. Tart cherry, rose petal, light sandalwood, very aromatic and opened up beautifully.

Bottle open too long...hard to see past oxidative state.

Cherry and strawberry mixed with violet.
A little oak, medium to high acid and fine tannin to support the structure.
Drinking very well now and will benefit for a few years of aging

Stunning. 2012 vintage needs to decant for a bit. Pairs well with sour fruits, sharp aged cheddar and peppery greens. Well balanced at room temperature.

A beautifully acidically-balanced nebbiolo for our appie course of chick peas and pesto pizza.
