This is a very good buy, with much the same profile and proportion as Barolo. It misses a little bit on complexity and length, but overall a good potential companion for grilled meats. Given its tannin structure this may also be a cellar candidate.

Vineyard warmth shows. Deeper falcor but seems low acid.

Red cherry, rose petal, oak. M- intensity and acid. Tannin are not gripping. Earth, minerality, light and fruity. Balanced.

Some oak and tough to peg as Nebbiolo. Good, just not distinguished in any way.

I was hoping the 2010 would have softened after 8 years but was disappointed. Day 2 was better than day 1.

This is exactly what I want in a bottle of Nebbiolo. It is at the right age. Perfect with a nice Italian meal. Cherries on the nose. Balance acid and tannins and soft astringency. I hope to find this bottle again

Sulphur smell but shockingly smooth with hints of cherry. Nice wine.
