Sam Kim - Wine Orbit
A wonderful rendition of the variety, showing dark fruit intensity, charcuterie, dried herb, and rich floral aromas on the nose. The palate delivers excellent concentration, refined texture, and chalky tannins, finishing impressively long and robust.

Pyrenees nebbiolo in a heavy, heavy bottle.
Good territory here. Pure black licorice aromas/flavours roll into redcurrant, sweet spice, earth and decayed red flowers. Itrs dry, savoury, fruit-driven and firm at once. It’s a bit surly at present but flavour, texture and tannin are all excellent.
