Ahhh....Nebbiolo as it should be. Light, bright, cherry-mineral finesse with bangin' tannins. Nice.

Cigar box, menthol, underripe black cherry, pine needles, thyme. Excellent acidity, medium bodied, soft velvet tannins, dry herbal finish. Brighter fruit notes and cloves develop over time, decanting recommended.
