Pretty nose with good character and intensity. Roses, licorice, and red and black fruit. Palate was dull compared to nose. Ripe fruit with some energy. Tannins were slightly bitter. Short finish. #sandrone #langhe #nebbiolo #ctbucklinwine

Final btl, and showed the best of the bunch. Pop and pour, 2 hrs slow ox. On the nose: wild strawberry, tar, blood orange and soft vanilla. On the palate: clearly more modern in style with evident vanilla, black raspberry, then tar/charcoal. Good density, and still very gripping but finely grained, though slightly bitter, tannin on the finish. Not bad.
