Tar and roses are flavours synonymous with nebbiolo and this red embodies the name like no other. Black licorice sweetness, leather and olive tapenade characters add to this delicious mix, combined with bold tannins, giving this impressive wine flexibility to cellar for several years It will go down a treat with braised beef and hearty winter vegetables.
Mid-garnet; tomato bush, sarsaparilla and creamy strawberry notes make the wine's entrance. Some sandalwood and orange zest, spring up on the back end. The tannins are twiggy and firm, delivering a savoury rasp. The acidity is all soprano, sweeping the wine along. (Ned Goodwin)
