Estimate
A classic Nebbiolo fragrance of red rose, perfumed berry, baking spice... Firm, polished tannins weave through the elegantly structured palate, effortlessly supporting juicy wild cherry, crushed raspberry, white pepper and star anise while bright acidity keeps it fresh.
...exudes balance and harmony...absolutely intact in all its elements...takes on greater aromatic intensity with its floral tones that blossom brighter and the fruity tones that emerge steadily from the bouquet. Spice, leather and grilled herb linger delicately at the back...a beautiful wine.
...balance of fruit, acidity and tannin....a mid-weight Barbaresco, but here it is the wine's textural finesse that impresses above all else. Chalky tannins underpin flowers, spices, tangerine peel and star anise on the expressive, floral finish.
...delicious dried-cherry, strawberry and stone aromas and flavors. Medium body, fresh finish. Fresh, linear style.
Old leather, tar and rose scents... Underlying richness of dried cherry. Firm, quite fine tannins, with more depth and length. This is much more like it!
