May 23, 2022 - Good but still young. Great nebbiolo flavors, but still with a good whack of dry tannin. Needs at least another 4-5 years.

This comes at you like a Tyson fist wrapped in velvet.
Still but a padawan, yet delivers a drinkable experience. Would love to make this wine's acquaintance againin 10 and 15 years from now.
This is a little subdued on the nose, with Nebbiolo grape aromatics and little else.
In the mouth it enters with immediate tannic hammers and nails. But with enough air, the barbed wire also gives way to warm plums, autumn leaves and ( after a couple of hours) beautiful rose petals.
This wine has it going for itself and will converge with the great Barolos down the line. My guess is well above 95 as time moves on.
Wife dissed this.
At brilliant PRIMO in Kannai, Yokohama. (Should be 2 stars.) -
