Immediately thought Italy, Nebbiolo, but went for Barbaresco over Barolo. Others thought this bottle may have been slightly flawed (minuscule TCA muting the fruit), but I still enjoyed it somewhat.

Fruit intensity is lacking, but still very tannic and acidic, development of tertiary notes, leather, saddle, dried roses, tar. Definitely could improve with better showing of fruit.
