Nicolas Belfrage: Sherbetty aromas, quite attractive if ephemeral. Relatively easygoing fruit with good acidity; all very correct and capable of going forward if drinking soon. Has everything, but just lacks a touch of intensity- 16.5:

Bruno Besa: Tawny, garnet rim to orange rim. Exuberant, smoky nose, with clean fruit, roses, violets, and hints of cloves and cedarwood. Medium to full body, yet fragrant and refined, with long clean finish. Classic Nebbiolo that should drink well in the next five to ten years- 16:

Jancis Robinson: Light to mid-rusty ruby. Rather syrupy on the nose. Hint of rusty nails. Just a bit simple. Drink 2014–22- 14 :
