Strong sharp almost acrylic smell followed by rich fruity aroma, plumb - oak - layered rich and thick. Later on almost like expensive tea with a complex and fragrant bouquet .
Taste is sharp at first with stringent dry tannic. Powerful and strong. Followed by fruit. Plumb, cherry, stone fruit. Crisp and refreshing. Cuts though the fat like a knife. And ends with a bitter sweetness that makes you want to take another sip.
Not as amazing as I remembered back in 2017 in Montepulciano. But good in its own way. Softened much more the 2nd day. Maybe I should decant for 5hrs next time.

Showing well. Love the licorice notes. Complex but the dried fruit closes with a touch too much sweetness for me.

A quick CV tasting with Margaret L on her return trip stopover. Nicely balanced and lithe with long finish and the Nebbiolo flavors of earthiness and liveliness.
