#AgedWineTuesday
Pretty color of ruby with medium plus intensity and a wide reddish rim.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity and a beautiful nose.
Showing red cherries, raspberries, spices, light oak, licorice, tobacco leaf, herbs, wet leaves and peppercorn.
Grippy tannins on the finish with raspberries.
This 17 year old shows very well now. Powerful, yet soft and smooth. Tangy and interesting.
Good by itself and better with airtime.
Still young and would be better in 5 to 10 years.
100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged in Slovenian oak barrels. Aged for a total of 7 years in oak and bottle. A small production of less than 4,000 bottles. Unfiltered.
14% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$500.

This is why we love Nebbiolo; off the charts aromatics flows into a ripe yet feminine palate with great acidity and lovely red fruit flavors, seriously framed by masculine tannins.

A rare treat! Per Luca Currado, only bottled 9 times in the last 49 years. A different label is used every time this wine is bottled.
