Morgenster Estate Italian Collection Nabucco 2008 89 Points


Clear, day bright, cherry red with mahogany brick hue and slight brown rim, very good color typicity for a Nebbiolo, medium plus concentration, medium plus viscosity, no gas or sediment.

Clean, medium plus intensity, dried plums / prunes (not in a negative way), tobacco, tar, dried rose, complex forest floor with spicy paprika note, hints of smoke and truffles.

Dry, medium plus tannin, medium plus acidity, high alcohol but integrated, fine palate restraint with new leathery note, fresh profile, slight tannic bitterness, sappy, very long lenght with complex lingering aftertaste, now if decanted / aerated, until 2019+

This is the 2nd release of the Nabucco, ceratinly a huge improvement on the color, more Barolo like now and lesser oak, very fine indeed and by far South Africa's finest Nebbiolo, a must for any Italian concept restaurants
Paired perfectly with an "a la Romagnola al dente spaghetti al Nero di Seppia"
