Brownish garnet color with a decent amount of sediment. Aromas and flavors of cooked plums, wet leather, cinnamon bark, tar, and red roses. A bit past it’s prime, it still has a bit of oomph in the acidity. Nice enough for a vintage Barolo.

Air at minimum for 90 minutes. Complements pasta perfectly, not bad after dinner also

Great Nebbiolo. Grippy and deep. 1 minute finish. Drinking right in the zone.
