This iteration of the Garagiste private label (from an undisclosed winery) is excellent, particularly in view of the vintage. Classic Nebbiolo nose of faded roses, macerated cherry, old barrel scents, spice (hint of cinnamon?), crushed stone, and porcini mushroom. Surprisingly soft on the palate for a ‘14, with deep cherry fruit, crushed stone, and spice flavors. Very nice flavor concentration. Nice acids and very soft tannin come though in the back half of the palate.
