Beautiful and haunting nose. Unreal cherry definition and such complexity and vividness. This nose is a superstar. Candied peppermint. Spice. So sweet but so mineral. Very very elite. Jolly rancher but best jolly rancher I’ve ever smelled. Sick. 9.7 nose. Some tar/tobacco and truffle add to the allure. Ripe but so clear. Just stunning. Palate is ripe and juicy with great concentration and sappy sappy red cherry fruit backed by high acidity. But the 15% shows. I think that this will integrate more with air. 9.7 nose and 9.2 palate right now. But I’m sure things will change. I’ll be back.

Nose: dark lilacs. Penetrating.
Palate: deep midseason cherries. Great grip. Sweet spice.
A remarkable job in a vintage the critics loved but was actually quite challenging (heat). The opposite of 18.

Wonderful wine. Decanted 4 hours and this certainly needs it at this point - will try the next bottle in 3-4 years. I actually had the 09 of this wine in Milan 4 years ago, fun to try it again through Fass Selections (and with a new label to boot). Just a great reminder of why nebbiolo is such an amazing grape when tended well. Amazingly aromatic, such depth, great fruit, nice long finish, excellent acid, and a bit of that cooling menthol note. Perfect pairing with some garlic and fennel rubbed pork chops on a rather significant night…
Editing up to a 9.4 after a few more hours of air (total 7+ hours). Also realized this is 15%! Would not have guessed it, but had a nice chill on it throughout.
