Nice ruby light plum color. Nice nose of tar, cherries, spice, dead leaves, moss, wet earth after a rain, very earthy, very wet earthy. Still a nice core of cherry on top of all that earth. Opulent and rich on the palate with telltale Nebbiolo tannins, but tamed and ripe with impressive flavor hierarchy. Nice freshness and great acids. Rustic but that is the charm. This would kill with beef. Drinking great now, but probably needs an hour to flesh out.

Just a beautiful faintness of earthy fruit which fills your mouth as you let flow, feel the the silky essence of oak and a soft dry finish, cleansed for the next anticipated taste!

Delicious Nebbiolo. Black fruit on the nose, restrained finish. Tannins give it good structure.
