Aromatics are soaring right now. Focused, ripe red fruit balanced with a core of acidic structure & textural tannic grip. Keep discovering great bottles from Cantina Del Pino.

Great wine from a great vintage. Really wish I had more patience with this. Perfumed floral and dusty herb aromatics. Bright cherry and raspberry flavors up front subsides to baking spice notes balanced through the finish with intense acidity. If you have I wish you strength I didn't have as this will improve with age.

This one never really opened up. Maybe I just don't like nebbiolo as much. I thought it was kind of bitey for a $75 bottle.
