Jeni Port
Destemmed, whole berries transferred to oak for fermentation, natural yeast, maturation in seasoned French oak. A young nebbiolo in a style that asks – demands – a food accompaniment in the traditional Italian style. It also wouldn't mind further bottle ageing. Naturally high in savoury tannin, the grape shows firm structure against flavours crunchy in cranberry, cherry, pepper, fennel seed and spice. But it's early days. Give it time and a decant if opening soon. Points: 92/100
