Those old stinky sticky licorice sticks wrapped in decaying violets. Tongue coating soft tannins, like a nice gentle hug.

Hot in the chest but a fabulous example of Nebbiolo in a structural sense. Not overly oaky or too youthful. This was a tannic vintage but they have softened well here. Abundant new road/asphalt/tar notes. Big dried red and black cherries, dried figs with big herbaceous tones. Dried white and red rose petals. Med-med+ tannins with medium acid. These tannins have softened nicely. Great mouthfeel on this Nebbiolo. Some fun tertiary vanillin library flavors as well. Brown sugary finish. Love this.

Delicious, great aromatics, a wee full bodied. A Freddie Mercury vocal.
