  Really wonderful. First blast on the nose was Luxardo cherry. Some spice and lots of earthy dirt.
  Light bodied, appropriate acidity.
  Palate is dark cherry, some tobacco & leather. Had a faint moment of chocolate. Nice complexity.

  91/92. Very youthful, well oaked, chewy and has excellent length. Open with 7-8 hrs aeration. Drink now or lay down 5-10 years. Would expect a bit more fireworks for a 40 Euro+ wine but this is well made.

  As with my last time trying this cuvee, this was already extremely pretty and effortlessly delicious in its very early stages, and yet it's obvious that a few more years will be beneficial, especially structurally. It's not hyper-expressive, but there's a beautiful, persistent presence on the nose already (no decant) with fresh sliced strawberries, deeper bing cherries, vague flowery perfume, nuances of thyme or wild mint, and touches of new leather, or maybe something like salty charcuterie (VERY subtle, nearly entirely about the cool, fresh red fruit.) Notably more earthy on the palate, with more of that leather tone coming out, dry earth and herbs, etc with more of the bright, slightly sour cherry thing (just a little more subdued than on the nose.) Tannins are obviously pretty noticeable, but I wouldn't call it coarse or gritty, just a little dusty at this stage. Very elegant and super-typical; ordered it off the list at Spinasse, a great Piedmontese restaurant in Seattle, for a few folks who were both decently-versed in Nebbiolo and others who had never tried one- both groups loved it.

  Not as open and enjoyable as my last bottle; this one feels somewhat closed aromatically and needed a lot more air for the aromatics and fruit to emerge. It's a lovely wine, though it gives the impression that it's starting to close down for a bit.

  Medium clear slightly tawnied crimson- nose of somewhat distant clean fresh red fruits from cran to straw to rasp to cherry with floral and menthol lift - spicy powdery tannins and bright acids within spitting range of balance - for its pretty fresh fruit and balanced structure I will consume in the remainder of my 6 pack in its lovely youth.
