Lean and taut. While I enjoy the leaner side of Nebbiolo, the structure is unbalanced to the fruit etc right now.

For you rednecks out there, the nose is a bit reminiscent of Red Man, or perhaps Beechnut, with a serious dash of fennel seed. Tar and cherries and grip on the tongue.

Classic Nebbiolo, though a bit shy. Food wine.
