@Tom Casagrande, c’mon man, we’re just having fun, I LOVE reading your tasting notes and comments. Now that I’m retired, I’d be the first to admit that maybe I have WAY TOO MUCH free time for my smart ass comments to come out!! With that said, I AM (mildly? barely? not at all?) concerned about why you’re already invoking the 5th Amendment??!!?? 🤔😎😇
Inferno… my favorite.

This is a large-auditorium college intro class in Valtellina Nebbiolo. (In contrast to a graduate seminar led by Professor Marsetti or Professor Ar.Pe.Pe.) Loads of dried cherry fruit and winey old barrel scents on the nose. A bit of faded rose petals and stone. The light color looks fairly advanced. The palate is openly fruited initially, but has a bit of a tannic clench at the end. So the balance to be struck is drinking while the fruit is so nice but waiting to see if the tannins drop and soften. Not a long term project. Enjoy over the next few years would be my take, but I tend to favor things on the younger side. — a month ago
