If memory serves—which it sometimes doesn’t—this was an inexpensive Garagiste “mystery” wine. And it’s not bad. Very light color with some ambering of the edges. Nose is Nebbiolo all the way, with macerated wild cherry fruit, lots of old barrel/mahogany scents, a a little gravelly hillside note. In the mouth, it’s a rather lean and austere style, good intensity, but a little angular, and the tannins are a bit scratchy. Needs food, which, luckily, I happen to be eating.

UPDATE: Night 2, after being under a vacuum closure, it’s softened and rounded in the mouth considerably. Upping score from 8.8 first night to 9.0. — 2 months ago

Earthy and musty nose. So silky smooth and beautiful from the moment the wine touches your lips. Seems quite light for this blend. Wonderful — 5 years ago

Underripe blackberry and raspberry fruit on the nose. Accents include shoe leather, mushroom, and forest floor. Grippy tannins, great length, with lingering blackberry and boysenberry. Fairly high EtOH. — 10 months ago

So I know this is kind of old fashion and hardly anybody drinks anymore but I love it. Whether going and coffee or hot chocolate or anything like that this is something that mixes very well and adds wonderful depth and flavor two drinks. It works straight, but it just seems to present its body and character better in the presence of other flavors. — 5 years ago
