Aged 5 years prior to release. Rusty brick color with an orange hue. Delicious palate with soft but grippy tannin.

Very good and showing tried cherry and unfiltered tobacco; big fine but with sufficient tannin to be balanced.

This is a noble effort to make an age worthy Nebbiolo, but unfortunately it falls s little short. The wine had aromas of industrial metal worskshop, asphalt, and light fennel spice. Very bitter in the mouth with balsamic notes.
