Nice orangey brick hue. Tasted violets, ripe cherries with mineral. Took a little while to open up.

Leather, fresh mint, tart berries, nice structure still could age a bit.

I came across this pretty nebbiolo by chance tonight, as our selected wine was flawed. In the end, I'm happy we did, as this displayed finessed floral tones with dried strawberry and hints of leather and spice. On the palate, it was feminine with a mix of tannic structure and acidity that resulted into a grippy and mouthwating experience. Dried red fruits, spice and inner floral tones lingered long, as well as gripping tannin. This could use a few years in the cellar, yet comes across as very classic.

Deep aged cherry nose, medium body, finesse with palpable but just right tannins. Good stuff
