50% Nebbiolo, 50% Barbera
Same basic notes as before. Better on 2nd day with a decant.
A beautiful wine. Brilliant purple core and red edges. Glass staining ....... thicker then expected. Aromas of lavender and violets lead the way, with rich dark berries, graphite, and black tea.
Medium to full bodied, integrates the alcohol well. But the overall mouthfeel has a thickness to it (not viscous) as you roll it around. A bit of funkiness to the flavour. Tannins are drying on the finish, with a bitter tea/tar ..... grainy and firm. Nice sweet ripe dark berry flavours from start to mid palate. Long finish.
Let this breath to bring more out.

Very enjoyable wine. Nice medium weight, good berry fruit, spices. Not much in the way of detailed notes.
