  Opened and poured out two half glasses 20 minutes before trying. First impressions are a full nose of typical nebbiolo tar and roses and this followed through to the palate. There was very little tannin dryness that you'd expect. I very much enjoyed this.

  Decanted five hours before serving. Deep garnet color. Dark cherry liqueur and rose petals on the nose. Full bodied with medium-plus grippy tannins and medium-plus acid. Ripe cherries on the front, and a savory mid-palate with some soy sauce notes. Noticeable oak on the finish. Drinkable now, but still needs more time to really calm down.

  Second encounter with this wine and this bottle seems stellar. Colour is dark crimson, and nose reveals deep red fruit that may be a bit over maturity. Drying tannins, there is red fruit there but it doesn't fill out the midpalate. Yet even if the wine is too dry, there is persistence and its still very nice.
