Great showing, structurally balanced with such focus and edge at 10 years. Tannins are super fine, acidity is bursting. Great bouquet, dried roses, dried cherries and raspberry, sarsaparilla, dust, worn leather, savory herbs, asphalt, mushroom. Theres a slight bitter note to the wine that I love on the finish.

Restrained on the nose, seems like it has some development to go through before it shows. Solid structure, tannins are present but not overblown. Softer finish. A little oxidation from age or barrel. I'll visit again in a year.

Vibrant, deep, soft and intricate; blueberries, porcini, damp earth. Soft, subtle tannins - exceptional for #nebbiolo.

Magnum. This is going to be brilliant with the Brasato in a couple of hours.

Wow this wine really surprised me. One of the best nebbiolos I've had. Dried cherries, roses, plums, super delicious. Really happy with this one.

Nose of chocolate covered brandy-soaked cherries. Tannins cut beautifully through the fat on a ribeye. An all-round beauty.

100% Nebbiolo, baby! This is a big wine but very well balanced.
