Leather and citrus peel, dried flowers and sage. Fennel seeds and a core of strawberry fruit. Great acidity and very restrained tannins.

Old school, more like Nebbiolo with some Pinot Noir delicacy. I live this wine, ever evolving in the glass, closed down a bit before opening back up again. Drink/hold, it's all good
