There are more of these 'drink now' Nebbiolos on the market, and I've got to say, I like what they bring to the landscape. Still highlighted by the expected powdery tannins, attractive scents of purple flowers, lillypilly, dark cherries and dense plums light things up. Quite smooth to taste but prunes seem to make a strong run for it and want to hang on. A solid match for barbecued meats or even a mushroom risotto. Drink to five years. 87/100 QwineReviews
