Dark garnet color with some brown highlights and slightly orange rim. Aromas of dried red fruit, forest floor, leather and a touch of menthol. Flavors of dried plum and black cherry fruit, dark chocolate, black licorice, beef jerky and roasted nuts. Plentiful baking spice notes on the long and grippy finish. Quite dense with firm tannins. Full bodied and well layered. Outstanding intensity and complexity. Still quite powerful but aging nicely. Cheers to Keith S! — 4 days ago

Brief notes. Dried savoury cherry and other red fruits. I found this to be quite new world in structure and flavour profile. I will do a more comprehensive note for my second and last bottle in a year or two. — 7 days ago

This is a pleasant nebbiolo that I see pairing well with a lot of pasta dishes. Overall, this wine has very scrumptious red fruit flavors with settled tannins that balance the fresh acidity really well. It’s a translucent, pale red that’s medium bodied with scents of cherry, rose, and leather. Primarily it’s the cherry that comes through on the palate. The fine grained tannins transition to black tea notes and cherry on the finish. The fruit on the finish quickly disappears. — 6 months ago
