Light to medium bodied. Rich and complex -- very earthy wine plus some raspberry and cherry and some almost tar/smoke. And roses. Also the smell of good quality, cloudy honey. Very interesting. Tannins are soft after 11 years, but still there. Medium finish.

Well rounded. Modestly fruit forward. Dark fruit, caramel and slight bit of mint on the finish.

Dried cherries, pencil shavings, violet. Beautifully balanced. Surprisingly soft tannin for Nebbiolo.
