This is essentially in its sweet spot now. Lovely depth, layered attack and medium-fine tannins that are not obtrusive at all. This wine delivered beautifully.

Classic nose to me with plums, cherries, flowers and a hint of menthol. Tightly wound even at hour 4 with nice structure but austere tannins, medium full body and a lint finish. Young delicious but needs some time

Popped and poured. This is a light red wine moving slightly toward orange on the glass rim. On the nose, I get rose hips, brush, and licorice root. In the mouth, this has good acid and structure with cherry flavors on the attack and toward the finish. The finish wraps it up with some sap and mild tannins. Overall, this is a quality wine showing some pulsing energy and evident craftsmanship. There is some upside for sure. 93 points.

Popped and poured. This is a translucent ruby-red wine with basically zero sediment. On the nose, I get rosewater, rosehips, cherry, leather, and strawberry. In the mouth, this has medium red fruit, a blast of cherry flavor, and good structure overall. The finish is chewy with some licorice root notes. Overall, this is a pure wine with a nice focus. It is ready now but should have many miles left in the tank. 93 points.

Tasted blind. Guessed nebbiolo from the first smell and never wavered. Nebbiolo wines have the most beautiful aromas of all wines. Sweet roses, licorice, raspberry preserves. This wine is pretty and elegant on the palate, until the big tannins hit. I like the tannins though. They provide a sense of seriousness and structure. I think this wine is drinking wonderfully now.
