  Farge: Rubin-murstein. Kraftig til å være Nebbiolo
  Duft: Fiolaktig med noe fat mot trestubbe
  Smak: Nokså runde tanniner. Litt innledende surkirsebær blandet med noe morken ved og noe floralt. Komplisert. God
  
  Dag 2
  Duft: Fuktig skogsbunn og noe floralt
  Smak: Nokså runde tanniner. Mer dempet frukt i forhold til i går. Mer toner av jord med noe floralt samt morken ved. Bedre enn dag 1!

  Nebbiolo grown on volcanic soil in the climate San Francesco oriented to the west, aged in big barrels (no new oak), 14% vol.
  
  Decanted 3 hours before dinner but still improved in the glass. On the nose sour cherries, ethereal and fresh moss, on the palate fresh with fine tannin, medium bodied and good length, very elegant and not at all heavy.
  
  Beginning drinking window, will only get better with further cellaring, if drinking now, a long decant is highly recommended, 91-92+.
