First 2018 I've tasted. Light/Med in glass with pink rose on the nose and a hint of cherry syrup. Mid moves forward with herbaceous brown tea flavor, accompanied by mild red licorice and more floral; the former more than most Nebbiolo from the region. Tannins med-high on finish; again, not as dry as a lot in this area while this young. Acid high. Overall, decently balanced for its age, but single-flavor in many areas. Not sure it has girth to cellar and develop into some classy wine; nonetheless, the notes the bottle are hitting are commendable. At $20, great QPR for a beyond-affordable weeknight sampler. Will buy again.
