Paolo Conterno, Langhe, Nebbiolo A Mont

PnP from 375 at Kiln. Quite pretty.

Medium light body, a bite of tannin to start, it’s darker cherry fruited, a bit of dark chocolate to finish, good length. In a couple of years it should be pretty good

Clear ruby red color. A rustic, broad shouldered Nebbiolo. Tannins are out in front of everything right now, leaving me looking for more balance. That tannic grip dominates texturally and this could use a bit more body to stand up. I found a unique darker fruited layer which emerged after the typical cherry/red fruit & floral notes. Aromatically, this is beautiful and those red fruit & flowers are quite present. This is a good example of Nebbiolo, but I've enjoyed …

Doft: sötfruktigt med hallon och jordgubb med en del fatkryddiga och parfymerade inslag. Smak: Rödfruktigt och relativt lätt frukt samtidigt som det blir lite syltigt. Ljus Pinot-lik frukt som är för varm och syltig. Många trevliga drag naturligtvis men inte balanserat - 14% i en Langhe Nebbiolo blir fel.

Still a little rough, fresh fruit, nice acidity, tannins need a bit more time.

Balanced and juicy with very kind tannins. Lacks concentration and complexity. Sweet, red berries, some toasted oak and bitter herbs. Not memorable at all but not a bad wine either. Won't buy again.

Pretty see through red, rose, cherry, cinnamon; good.

This is an eastern exposure but from the village. The fermentation is short but the land is the same. 19 year old vines. Powerfully fruited on the mid palate, really gutsy on the mid palate. Purely the exposure mandates (or I think that is a vintner choice) where this cannot be Ginestra.
