La Badina
Riserva Lessona Red Blend
Lessona, Biella, Piedmont, Italy
Nose is all smoke, hickory, decaying leaves, floral, smoked meats, fresh potting soil, juicy, deep and structured with elegant fruit and spice. Finish is a bit drying. Juicy red fruits, complex and fresh, invigorating. Acid is fresh. Clean. Very good.

Nose just has that aged Nebbiolo thing. Dried leaves. Dried roses. Very elegant.
Palate is very bright still. Ooh man. Bright cherries. Cherry flower internal aromatics. Gorgeous.
So old school alto Piemonte. All about the balance and elegance. Very old school volnay like In weight.
I’m guessing this should be drink in the next 2 years.
Pop and pour and down in 30 minutes. Even as the fruit dies it’s gorgeous. Like the last breath of an opera star. Finish is rose juice. Ephemeral. Like much great beauty.
50 minutes in the nose is simply inexplicable. Like dried rose perfume that was aged for 5 years. So subtle. I dunno. Just a thing of beauty.

Love this.
Nose is dusty. Cherry. Cherry flower.
Palate is silky elegance. A hint of chocolate. Cherry flower perfume. Clingy. Elegant.
Finish is gorgeous. Cherry. Cherry licorice. So “sweet.”
I might like this a tad more than I should because it’s old and beautiful. Like me :-)
No decant. Drink within 35 minutes. It’s loses its energy after that.
