Jan 29th, 2022Decanting...Planning to pair this with Osso Buco tonight, so it's going to be a little more time until I get to notes on this bottle. (The veal shanks are the size of an outstretched hand...I can't wait!)
Nebbiolo how I love you in all your forms...
On the nose, over ripe strawberry, dried cherry, smokey chocolate (oh how I'd love to eat smokey chocolate!).
On the palate, very smooth after 5+ hours decant with tannin only on the end of the finish, smoked truffle, dried strawberry, loamy mineral.
Revisit in 5+ years on remaining stock. Expected life 8-12 years.
Perfect pairing with Osso Buco, after a 3+ hour braise the veal was spoon-able tender.
