Rose petals and a touch of tart dried cherry 🍒🌹 Could go a few more years but I think it’s best now. (6 year mark for the 2013.) One complaint is that it could use more acidity.

Nose isn’t that open right now, but plenty of dried cherry, strawberry, rose on the palate // nice med+ lift of acidity

This is a very good buy, with much the same profile and proportion as Barolo. It misses a little bit on complexity and length, but overall a good potential companion for grilled meats. Given its tannin structure this may also be a cellar candidate.

Vineyard warmth shows. Deeper falcor but seems low acid.
