Piedmont and Veneto with Roy Hersh chez Michel Abood. (Michel's.): A good way to start. Nicely perfumed with loads of licorice, truffle, sweet black cherry and earth aromas. Shows the ’88 austerity with a little roughness across the palate, but there’s beautiful fruit balancing things out. Complex, but perhaps not going to get any better, though there’s still plenty of life left. Like flavors as aromas, with the black cherry and licorice dominating. Starts to dry out a touch on the finish. Nice stuff. A-.
