Took time for the Brett to fade away, ended up being silky, rustic and lush.

Nose is just piercingly clear cherry and cherry flower. A hint of mountain field.
Palate is so clean. Almost like a mountain stream infused with cherries. Some spice. Almost a lavender extract. Wow. Very distinctive. As it opens some lovely dustiness on the palate.
Finish is so perfect. Cherries. Lingering cherry licorice.

Spring 2020. This had a brown spice bouquet and transparent but rounded palate. Very distinctive from Nebbiolo from the Langhe.

Jul 8th, 2019Light-ish red grape nose, acidic fruit nose and tongue (but not overly harsh). Fruit slowly fades to oak and vanilla finish.
