The 2008 Langhe Nebbiolo from De Forville flows with candied red fruit, flowers, minerals, licorice and menthol that come together on its mid-weight frame. This needs time in the glass to find its inner balance, even if it always remains a touch austere. Still, this is a solid value in traditionally made Langhe Nebbiolo. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022.
