Piedmont 2015 - Part IV

The last two Langhe Nebbiolo (for now). Can´t wait to go down to Piedmont this spring and start to taste the released 2015 Baroli!
Some more Nebbiolo´s below, tasted during 2017/2018.

2015 Langhe Nebbiolo, Elio Sandri
This has a dark, broading nose with notes of black cherries, licorice, dark flowers, chrushed rocks and some leather scents. Deep and fine.
The taste is tight and broad shouldered with notes of raspberry licorice, scorched earth, smoke and violets. A very long, concentrated finish with sandy tannins. The one that most resemble the "real" thing. Very fine.
91p   (tasted 2018/12)

2015 Langhe Nebbiolo, Borgogno
One could have a preconcevied idea, that from this large producer something bland would be produced. In this case one would be wrong.
The nose is low keyed but fine with notes of ripe lingonberries, dried flowers, rosehips, forest floor and a hint of band aid. Opens up nicely in the glass. Very good.
The taste is dry and fine with notes of ripe lingonberries, red currants, earth, dried mushrooms and herbs. A vere fine acidity. Maybe a tad anonymous but given blind impossible to place anywhere else then in the Langhe heartland.
87p   (tasted 2018/12)
