Mature Nebbiolo color. Starts out a bit oxidized with dried cherry and cranberry fruit but freshens with air. After an hour the fruit is derived cherry, cassis and cranberry with notes of violets, roses and warm tar. Palate has dried red fruit notes and balsamic and allspice accents with slightly coarse and drying tannins. Acidity gives lift and really re-enforces the red fruit and spice driven finish. I think this is just past peak drinking but still holds your interest over a few hours.

Wow. Took a while for this wine to show its stuff but it really came around. Dark dark tar, pepper, tabacco. Great.
