Popped and poured; no formal notes. Served out of a magnum for NYE dinner. Black and blue fruits with black pepper, dried herbs, leather and spices. Tannins are mostly integrated and there’s great balance. Unanimously fawned over by all at the table.

Black cherry, black raspberry, baked earth, dried herbs, Ceylon cinnamon, tar, underlying animal/savory character. Tannins are still powerful with considerable finesse to them. Very fine for the style. Long life a head

Decanted two hours. In its late youth, but gorgeous and showing great promise. Nebbiolo comparisons hold water--this is all dusty cherry fruit, laced with acid, tannins, and a generous dollop of herbs. Unlike other wines in this appellation it manages to say quite a lot at only 13-14% ABV.

Really nice herbaceous and bright cherry aromatics. A bit tannic to start, giving away it's youth. Pleasing almost-bitterness to the finish in a Nebbiolo-like manner.
