Top Notes For
Devin Bray

Enormous nose of dried flowers, kirschwasser, rosemary, marjoram, almonds. Big ripe cherries in the mouth, followed by tannic notes that show up as dried violets, olives, old oak, cigar box. Delicate. For the first 45 minutes it seemed as though it was dying quickly in the glass, rather than opening up, but after two hours it really started to sing. A beautiful Nebbiolo.
