Nicolas Belfrage: Medium-deep, beginnings of garnet. Pungent, floral nose of type. Very good acid/fruit balance, with good follow-through on the palate. A firm tannic base, Nebbiolo flavors all in place, the wine not together yet but the potential for excellence. Great length. Drink from 2015. 16.5

Simon Larkin: Good depth of color. The aromas suggest fine, ripe, red fruits, a touch of tea-chest, but above all, a floral, nuanced fruitiness. There is a layered sense to the palate, some undergrowth notes, but also layer upon layer of sour cherry fruit. The tannins assert themselves gently and make for an elegant style with a fine finish. A little grainy and austere, nonetheless. 15

Franco Ziliani: Dark ruby/purple color. The nose is dominated by oaky, coffee, toasted flavors with ripe fruit and plum notes and a hint of vanilla. The wine lacks complexity and elegance and is one-dimensional, with astringent oak tannins and a bitter, dull finish. 13
