Cherry-watermelon red-licorice orange-spice summer glou glou. Just get it and chill it. A return to greatness after an overtly mineral 2019 release (still yummy), and almost as good as the 2018. Piemonte Bojo!

Clear limpid bright brick… only a step or two above Rose. I was convinced for years that Nebbiolo and I were destined for serious antipathy. Barolos and Barbarescos were not my jam. Couple years ago I dined at Del Posto in NYC and splurged on a 40 year old Nebbiolo. I swirled, sniffed, swallowed and the heavens opened and lightning struck. I had tasted Nebbiolo for nearly thirty years and I’d never had one when ready. Mushroom, truffle, acidly up the butt… and simply delicious in its lightness and power. This wine is brand new… very young, but very much related to that $400 antique. Simply more fun than I’ve had with my cloths on since Covid. Simply delightful with pasta with red sauce and chicken Marsala. Glad I bought 6 and already plotting to get more!
