So good. Went down quickly at a party. Insane nose. Deep concentrated cherry fruit. Still years to go.

Refined, perfumed, structured, and nuanced. It had notes of black cherries, raspberries, black tea, roses, and dry clay. Really lovely acidity, juiciness, and minerality—all things I love in wine. 💕🔥

This is a true OMG wine. And OMG! Enveloping nose of chestnut, tar, roses, deep mineral, core of intense deep cherry black cherry fruit. More keeps peeling away with air. Massive palate with insane purity and concentration with massive structure and purity. Incomparable depth and freshness. No rush but damn tasty today.

Very complex Neb. Earth, spices, macerated cherry fruit, balance and length. Perfect accompaniment to Matambre.

Gorgeous cool climate Nebbiolo nose. Cooling. Tea, spice, cherry, leather, very detailed and pretty. Florals as well after some air. Awesome nose. Everything you want. Palate is juicy and oh so concentrated with lovely freshness and ripe tannins. Tons of red cherries. Needs maybe 30-40 minutes to shine and let the fruit get sorted out. Terrific complexity. Outrageous structure. What length and poise. Sick wine.

I love this wine. Just that yummy Nebbiolo fruit. It has that hint of sweet wood and great juiciness. Lovely rich fruit. It's so good. Really coats the palate. Bought from fass selections.

Man this wine is great perfect balance. Great nose. Gorgeous internal aromatics. Nice spice. Medium bodies fruit. Pop and pour. Strawberry and balsamic notes after 45 minutes. Drink before them if you care. Bought from Fass selections.
