It took 36 hours to open, once it got going was a thing of beauty.

Deep, damson mid season cherry, licorice, anise, rustic nose, juicy, complex, huge furry tannins. Well made, decent length, balanced and pretty, elegant. Needs air.

On day 2 this is transformed. Ripe and rich with wonderful stylishness and pure deep fruit. Terrific wine.

Smells like an imagined alpine Italian forest. Deep pomegranate, tree bark, tar, anise, cherries. This has a beautiful palate with mid weight, refined tannins after an hour or so of air, Plums, .
Great Nebbiolo 85/Vespolina 15%
Next time I will stretch a bottle into the second day.
Thanks@ FassSelections

Nice Nebbiolo from alto piemonte. Quite good aromatically. A good bit of rusticity - bit more than I would prefer. Still balanced with a nice finish and good acid.

An approachable and delightful red from the Boca area in Italy’s Piedmont region. Simple, balanced quality, medium mouth feel and smooth legs. This DOC is the perfect wine to enjoy with family and friends after a day on the slopes 🏂. 12% alc/vol ~$25.00CAD Cheers
