Light colored with orange and red hues. Smells strongly of ripened cherries, sandalwood, and leather. Opens nicely into bruised strawberries and raspberry, but also an earthiness that isn’t too appealing. Pretty tightly wound with strong acidity but medium-minus body. Touches of oak and vanilla, with some other baking spices.

Again, prefer this simple #nebbiolo offering to their #barolo as this is more fun, with #cherry #tootsieroll pop on #nose & a savoury palate.

Forward notes of cranberry, pepper and a hint of Now and Later. Fruity and warm. Nice juicy, minerals balanced against modest tannin.

Utterly delightful. Beautifully hidden fruit. You can find it, but you've got to go looking.

Достаточно прозрачное. Третичные ароматы с ягодными нотками. Сочное с балансом кислотности и танина. Хорошее послевкусие с очень деликатной ягодной горчинкой и щедрым набором специй.

PS: пробка Diam10
