This has filled out nicely since my last bottle. Earthy, deeply cherryish nose. In the mouth, it’s dense but lithe macerated cherry, getting savory on the long finish. Full, but with nice acids. Damn this was an amazing value. I’m sorry that this is my last one. — a month ago

I haven’t gone back to check my notes on the ‘18 version of this, but this ‘19 strikes me as more structured and a little youthfully austere. Classically light color as most Lessonas have. Nose is minerally and little on the feral side, but clearly the Nebbiolo fruit is there, showing up as macerated cherry juice with a little tangelo rind and a high-toned floral note. Deeply-flavored but the texture is holding a little back, with a linear, slightly austere feel. O2 is helping. Nice tannin and acids. This is nice now with air but clearly will age very well. 9.2 for now but I think that could go up in a few years. — 9 months ago

Really like this mellow Nebbiolo blend. Good with food but stands on its own without having a lingering palate that can happen with with this grape. Could drink a whole bottle after dinner with this, and just might. — 3 years ago

Light, like fruit juice, yum! — 6 years ago
