Nicolas Belfrage: Medium-deep, turning. Attractive, correct perfumes of rose and raspberry. Straightforward, no-nonsense, classic Nebbiolo in updated traditional style, with good sweet fruit, balanced acid, and correct tannin. Copybook. 16

Simon Larkin: A pleasing garnet hue in the glass with some solidity. Closed on the nose, but the palate reveals a tightly coiled nature, not heavy but with a lively acidity and gently assertive tannins. This is an elegant style, though perhaps a little lean on the finish. The fruit shows a modest complexity, with tea-chest notes and a little warmth on the back palate. Correct if not inspiring. 13.5

Franco Ziliani: Dark ruby-purple color. The nose is intense, with layers of fruit (including rhubarb), ripe but not overripe, aromatic herbs, minty, and mineral notes; very fresh and lively. Very good structure, full-bodied, with solid, earthy tannins, good mid-palate persistence, and a long, harmonious, savory finish. Good aging potential. 16.5
