TNs: Two from the Langhe!

Post by JonoB »

2011 Langhe Rosato; "Senza Spine"; Nebbiolo, Fratelli Grasso
strawberry, roses, fresh, poised, herbs, rosemary, un-ripe raspberry, nice length, strawberries and cream frappucino, rosemary, garrique, clean, crisp and poised. Some tannin and space to develop and round out, but always an easy drinking, well made wine... Nice length given what it is. 60/100  

2009 Barbera d'Alba "Campass"; Az. Agr. Flli Cigliuti
chocolate, cocoa, raspberry and plum, poised, balanced and with decent structure despite the ripe fruit, strawberry, blackberry jam, elegant and pure, with good length, depth and intrigue, easy to drink and modern, but with elegance and some sort of hidden effervescence. Really loveable and with the ability to age nicely over the next 5-6 years. 63+/100  

Jono Beagle's hundred point scoring system.
0-29/100 not worth bothering with
30-49/100 good wine but I wouldn't buy a case
50-59/100 very good showing grape and terroir character
60-69/100 excellent example of a wine from this country/region/grape
70-85/100 one of the very best wines that the region has to offer.
86-100/100 one of the very best wines you are ever likely to drink
