  Italian! The wine screams from the first moment your nose picks up the cherries, soil, and leather.
  The palate follows the nose with cherries, earthy tones, and leathery finish. There is good acid upfront, followed by a high wall of tannins. Just a nice Nebbiolo that is approachable and tasty now, though time will soften the tannins likely add a bit more complexity.
  Great price performer if you want a nice wine that doesn't let you forget that it is Italian. Drink now with a short decant, or hold.

  100% Nebbiolo aged in 35% new wood. Tried this over two days. On day one that new wood was the primary note and I didn't much care for it, scoring it 85. On day two it was way better, offering nice spicy acids and juicy fruit throughout. Really creamy throughout and offering some modest depth. 88+ on day two.
