Not a riserva.
Needs a 60 minute decant. Then amazing. Sweet spices on the palate with midseason cherry. Allspice. Nutmeg. Distinctive and delicious.
As this opens you get that sweet Nebbiolo spice on the nose. Magnificent sweet roses.

There is something indescribably brilliant about this. It’s hard to put into words. When you first sip it, it has this delicious vibrancy. As it site in the palate, there is this shimmering quality. Mountain stream with minerals. An echo of pink grapefruit. It’s all just so balanced and well made and vibrant. Density is good but not elite but even so this is a masterpiece. Ok. Some elegant richness as it opens.
Nose: white and yellow flowers. Lovely coiled richness as it opens.
Hmm. I think the price of this is causing me to underscore this. The nose is exquisite after it opens. Really sick.
