Very light colored, the nose on this wine features sandalwood, dried underbrush, and old cherry liqueur. The flavors are somewhat austere, but feature intense rocky minerality and barely-ripe cherry. Lots of soft tannin, and the finish lasts a surprisingly long time for such a lighter-styled wine. Really good with food, but a little severe without food.

Dazzling nose. Cool climate neb for the win. So delicate. Tar, dried roses, cherries, and earthy inner earth component. Spice. So nice. Texture is so ethereal and delicate. So juicy and complex with such purity. Nice cut and grip. Excellent freshness and length. Such an honest and authentic wine not lacking soul that’s for sure. Terrific fruit, power and concentration.

Cool climate Nebbiolo with the balance of great volnay. Mose of orange peel and spice. Palate is sweet Nebbiolo fruit with haunting internal aromatics. Lingering sweet fruit finish. I guess fifty years of experience making wine in the same terroir do matter for something. A wine that is a unique expression of Nebbiolo. Bobby got from Fass selections.

Must have food. Tannins are fine but without, it is thin and tough. Got better with air, and was soft and fragrant after an hour.
