Lovely hibiscus and hi-toned red aromatics and flavor and great sapidity out of the bottle, but starts to fall apart with 10 minutes in the glass.

Fresh and downright youthful. Plenty of sweet ripe red fruit in there with the earth and funk. Utterly delicious. Being able to get this by the glass is a treat

Good lord. All you could want from some pretty, floral Mountain Nebbiolo with almost 20 years of age. Fresh as fresh can be.

This wine is greater than I ever could have hoped. So young fresh and alive--like the intersection of creamed corn and cherry jam with a wild furry animal lingering in the background, staring with wide eyes. This is spectacular

Iron meaty and earthy on nose. Still relatively fresh for age and showing well

Really perfumey nose that's oxidized in all the right ways. For being 18 years old it's still. very bright, with high acid red fruit. Super tasty.
