Very very pretty nose. Floral, tar, tobacco, also tamaco. Spice. An herbal element. Really floral after 10 minutes. Almost an incense like intensity. Some mid season cherries. Palate is ripe, juicy and complex and so well made. Exceptional purity and balance and a wonderful suavity to it. Terrific inner mouth aromas and lovely blueberry and black cherry fruit. Great concentration. Terrific length.

First bottle was unimpressive but this was a stunner - everything @Lyle Fass wrote about… wish I had a 6 pack of this - although I don’t know this has a particularly long window but it’s fire now

Nov 5th, 2024Reminded me more of Dolcetto than Nebbiolo - bit more rustic than I thought it would be - perhaps needed more aeration. Very dank, earthy & herbaceous, hi-toned notes, some spice, fleshy, red fruited… decent weight, bit of astringency on finish.
