This is delicious. Dark and broad and rich. Dark fruit with black cherry, herbs, iodine, iron some hints of mocha. Inky and pure and delicious.

Tasted blind. Dark, purple scarlet and opaque in the glass. Notes of black fruit, dark earth and stone, spice, mocha and some volcanic ash kind of note. Nice and rich in the mouth. The volcanic ash note leads me to Cal Cab and I go with a 91 Diamond Creek Volcanic Hill guess. That’s happened before to me when blind tasting Gaja, although nobody else was in Italy with their guesses either. And maybe we're starting to get a bit polluted… 😏

Getting old. Still very good but the vibrancy is gone.

I admit it. I’m not a fan of Nebbiolo and my friend brought this as a special treat. It’s... good. For me it doesn’t hit that ethereal plateau it seems to for others. Enjoy.
