Simple label. Italian class. Very light color. Certainly a rusty edge to it. Looks old. Smells like old wine. Old books and rock cellars. Flavors are complex and strange. Tart with a nice tannic dry streak. Hint of meat. Slightly smoky. This is a classic Nebbiolo. Almost orange in color and filled with zip and tricks inside.

The alcohol is still too present, but the lovely black licorice and floral elements are enough to already make this a great Barbaresco. In a couple of years it should balance out perfectly.
