Piedmont meets Pomerol. What a nose. Epic. This is epic a f. Plums, spice, minerals and earth. Perfumed, deep and penetrating. Just amazing. This is elite. Blind you think 2nd tier Pomerol. Has that raspberry spice cake thing in elite Pomerol. Cuban pipe tobacco. Wow. Did not expect this. So bright. So lifted. This is the best Piedmontese Bordeaux blend nose I’ve ever smelled. Sorry Darmagi. Huge concentration and depth. Big plummy and ripe fruit and mouth coating tannins. So long. Exquisite structure and velvety sweet tannins. Black plum and black cherry fruit. Long and structured. Really long.
