This wine is, almost always, better than most other wines.

Blackberry, black & sour cherry liqueur, black plum, black licorice, tarragon spice, leather, woody and yet not the big tannins one would expect from young Nebbiolo. Nice polish on the finish that lasts several minutes.

Old school. So pretty. Cherries, earth, light-bodied and limber.

This was classic with ripe red cherry, rose, and irony earth. With several hours' air some tar started to emerge, so this is quite tightly wound, even if enjoyable for those who like tannic wines. Rating for now; with the flavor intensity and structure in 10-20 years this wine should be shooting for the moon!
