9.6

Incredible aromatics of fresh and dried and roses and intense cherry flower. Elegant and enveloping. Glorious aromas. Wow. 9.6 nose. Road tar, oolong tea and smoke start to develop. Confectionary cherry flower. Mid to late season cherry as well. Stunning. Palate is dense yet lithe with ripe and juicy tannins and sweet mid season cherry fruit accented with cherry flower pollen. Wow. Such a well made wine and extraordinary finish. So complex, ethereal and concentrated. Pure and elegant. Just a stunner. My heart lies with Alto Piemonte and Valtelljna for Nebbiolo always. Wow the inner mouth aromas. So juicy and just full of energy. Unreal freshness makes this akin to popping so many perfect tiny cherries in one’s mouth. What a wine. Young but not inaccessible and so promising. Now with air there is an opulence to the mid palate. Wow what length. Now a 9.6 from 9.5.
