Limited Dan Murphy's release.
Nose opens up with poached strawberries, sour cherries, cranberries, graphite, flint, gun powder.
Cola, malt, dried rose and jasmine petals, freshly turned damp earth, autumn underbrush.
Palate is impressively vibrant, long and focused; popping red cherry candy like acidity.
Tannins shine at the mid-palate and carry a liquorice balsamic like long finish.
More old-world than I expected, more Barbaresco than Barolo.
Great stuff!
