As his wine is reputed to age well, it will be interesting to see how it develops over the next 24 hours. Right now, 30 minutes after double decanting, it’s got an intense, almost pungently fruity nose that shows sweet crushed, spiced plums and intense crushed limestone powder. It’s quite old school in the mouth, however. It’s got intense cherry fruit and crushed stone minerality. Lots of very fine—grained tannins and good acids, this wine has a surprisingly long finish.

Light-bodied like an aged Nebbiolo. Piedmont on the nose and even on the palate. Very surprising and interesting. Just lacking the structure and richness. Like a good Nebbiolo di Langhe in its prime, with a less mouth filling kind of length.
