You can smell that vintage. Sunshine in the nose. Deep dark and black cherries along wish some red ones. Ripe but clean and elevated but still dominated by fruit. Waiting for the Nebbiolo to show itself. Seems like it needs mega air. Juicy and rich with lots of clearly defined fruit and good length but not showing the Nebbiolo character or complexity quite yet. The balance is there but the painting is only 1/3rd done. Will be back. Really high quality tannins that are ultra velvety. Finish keeps getting longer. This has 15-20 years ahead of it easy. Now the chestnut is coming through on the nose. Florals and spice not far behind. Great freshness and acidity. Got to 9.3 from 9.1 but this is so fruity and such a baby I’d cellar for a decade. Crazy length. Nose is about the same as yesterday with more Nebbiolo spice and chestnut. Palate is so juicy with dark black cherries and still is primary. This wine has 20 years on it. I’d not open for 5 years. Amazing freshness for an 03.

Sweet and full palate. Really interesting and great value. Structure has softened up, moderate complexity but great character. Decent length. Drink up!
