Virtually no bricking in the dark garnet showing. Tar, roses, fennel and earth aromatics with a stunningly pure, long palate presence. Beautiful focus and intensity on the palate and utterly perfect balance, with no excess weight or heat to it. Fabulous, and plenty of upside still here.

Lovely fresh notes on the herbier, more floral side of the nebbiolo spectrum- some rose, fennel, menthol. A fresher, more transparent showing. Pretty, but not fully open and slightly less expressiveness and intensity than I would have liked or expected.

Still remarkably fresh. Slightly muted but clean and classic if understated notes of pear and quince. Lovely straw gold color.
