A proverbial glass of megaton, the silkiness and purity of its massive tannin/acid structure is something to behold in wonder. Extreme depth of black cherry fruit, married to a waterfall of roses and frames with orange, tar and dashes of cocoa on the nose; this is top drawer nebbiolo. Nowhere near ready, and not much complexity yet but it will acquire spades of it over the next 30 years. Find a special place in your cellar. 2008 vintage.
