Now that’s frikkin’ delicious. Even w a post Covid mouth. Mentholated cherry dirt that is always evolving. The color is brick, that dark but translucent red on it’s way to brown. Some have noted in previous vintages a muted nose, but while not exuberant, that Piedmonte sense comes through. Lots of most pleasant dirt on the palate chased by dark cherries, no glimmer of heat at 14.5°. Could be six years that helped.
Marvelous stuff.
