Better mouth feel than the Italian varietal. Approaching velvety. Similar flavor profile with red fruit and flowers. Also some vanilla. Red color, but darker than most Italian Nebbiolo. Almost like an Italian Nebbiolo with a little bit of Tempranillo. Worked for me.

Dark dark color. Black cherries, tobacco, wood (maybe cedar) and a touch of vanilla. Nice mouth feel. Tannins actually picked up as the wine opened and wine became dry.

An under rated wine. Great dark color and smooth body. Blackberry, cherry and slight vanilla. More going on here than the notes below led me to believe. The wife has a single test which made this wine the winner of the night -- "If it's good, it's gone." Was the first wine off the table...
