Now really quite settled, the edges rounded out and the raw power evolved into something much more sophisticated. This is an absolutely cracking wine and pleases right across the palate, though having doubled in price in the last 10 years, this is now sadly beyond reach

Light in colour there is a candyish sweetness to this, a little close to pineapple juice, which is thankfully tempered by some peppery clove notes on the finish. Is refreshing and clean but suffers from a lack of richness

This one thoroughly delicious, with candied orange peel, mint, liquorice and berry. A very firm structure, a tannic dryness covering all this flavour matched by some cut-throat acidity. What an exciting expression of Nebbiolo. These 2013s have been all over the place - some totally oxidised, some really good - but this one is superb.
