Beef juices, star anise and cigar tobacco. Limpid color, great structure and open enough to enjoy now. Brilliant!

This immediately shows an open & agreeable aromatic character. This is an excellent example of the high toned, acid driven Nebbiolo. The tannins are the anchor here, but the red fruit positively shimmers across the palate. There is a keen sense of accessibility with this with a counterpoint of grippy nuance & silky textural complexity. Delicious with some braised lamb, but almost a meditation on Nebbiolo afterward by itself.

Anise, leather and subtle smoke. And a little basketball. Dry soft tannins that slowly fade.
