7.5

Had high hopes for an interesting blend but it did not live up to expectations. Lots of chalk and a bit soapy.

The best way to explain this bottle of delicious wine is dirty. It is perfectly dirty. I am in love.

Strong tartness hides the muskiness present in the aroma. Maybe too old?

Had most of the bottle on day 3. Very nice. Like a combo of Nebbiolo and Pelaverga.
