Vibrant & deep minerally core, has plenty of life left. Some funk too. Edges have rounded off

There's a faint element of funk on the nose, along with tertiary notes of mushroom and damp forest floor. The palate is lighter than expected, showing cranberry cocktail, red currant jelly, and cassia bark. Nothing wrong with the flavor elements, but this seems to be lacking the depth and complexity to merit a higher score. The finish feels lean and dry. Traditionalists may like this a bit more than I do.

Fine Nebbiolo from Alto Piemonte. Flavour profile simpler than I expected. Still too young?
