Begging for the cellar but with decades of evolution ahead. The layered nose was not only intense but lifted and floral, showing cherry, dried leaves, roses, dusty soil, and crushed stone. It was structured on the palate with brilliant cherry fruits, dusty spice and inner floral tones. It filled the senses with masses of refined Nebbiolo perfume and finished fresh with a vibrant thrust of dried cherry and minerals. This wine should make old bones, the only question is how long before its fine-grain tannins begin to soften.
