92 / 100"Cranberries, dried chamomile and peppermint, juice infused chalky tannins that cripple your tongue. It’s like eating chalk. It’s also quite meaty. Rare steak with lots of woody green spice. Strong iodine aftertaste, hint of bitumen, aromatic wood. This finishes ultra dry and pretty light. Fruit disappears towards the end but the chalky tension lasts."

"Cherry, red fruit, a little almond, light spice, a touch floral with some aniseed. Medium-bodied, fresh red fruits, understated, lively, a little new leather, and a bright finish of good length, with some chalky grip following. Charming. A little bit frisky. Good drinking."
- Gary Walsh
Tasting Notes
Hand harvested and matured in large oak barrels, showing many of the hallmarks of an excellent Barolo at a fraction of the price. Truly seductive now, it will also reward 2-5 years cellaring.
Classically suave, pure and red-fruited noted Nebbiolo with the savoury, chalky minerality that’s so typical of this grower. It draws you in with an alluring bouquet of red fruits, flowers and anise before blowing you over with the elegant and fleshy red fruits, supple tannins and energising acidity. The textbook finish is engagingly vivid and balanced with a long-lasting close. In a word: knockout.
