Dark, rich, tar-y aromatics with good texture and tannin. Energetic almost to the point of being tart. I am thinking this bottle needs hours to fully relax.

Gorgeously soft and fragrant lighter styled Alpine Nebbiolo. Nose has just ripe cherry, Alpine flowers and herbs, and a beautiful high-toned spice element. The palate is super-soft, with loads of gravelly minerality, very transparent cherry fruit, and is soft but lean. Nice acidity and just a teeny bit of peppery heat at the end (which actually worked well with the rich Friulian pasta we had with it.

Lean and taut. While I enjoy the leaner side of Nebbiolo, the structure is unbalanced to the fruit etc right now.
