Piedmont blind tasting.: Wine of the Night. Some bricking, orange peel, tar, silky, elegant, good acid! A VC 92, for whatever that's worth. :p Thought this was 2008 Barbaresco. Nope!

2 hour decant(very little sediment). A medium dark magenta color with some browning. On the nose: A sweet perfumed nose with tart cherry, floral, crushed rocks. Taste: Red berries, floral notes, mocha, minerals, with a dry smokey cherry finish. A soft medium body wine with soft tannins that could use a few more years to fully resolve...still drinking well on this rainy Saturday night!

Mar 15th, 2020A birthday gift for my husband that can now be experienced. Tart cherry floral and wet rocks on the nose with lingering scents of cedar and perfume. Medium magenta-purple with some browning in color. Taste — Red berry mineral, floral rose notes and cedar fill the mouth sitting in the middle of the tongue and a mocha sweet flavor on the tip. It has a medium, smokey dry finish and tannins are present, but drinks silky and smooth. Could also use a few more years in the cellar. Enjoying these flavors as they unfold.
