This is a decent wine that could have been so much more but in an excessively hot year, the wine is out of balance lacking acid, trademark dried floral aromatics, and has overripe fruit that is cloying on the palate with alcohol flabbiness. Archetypal Nebbiolo usually has a floral and dried red fruit component, not baked/preserved red fruit. Needs some angularity and finesse. A shame the sun over baked this fruit I payed $50 for. Still some nice leather, eucalyptus and star anise notes coming through but it's more like a Brunello due to its hot and juicy lusciousness.
