  Dark and red fruits, leather, florals. Light to medium palate with some interest. Fine tannins linger on the finish.

  Decanted an hour and drank with a roast boudin. Medium acidity and tannins red fruits with violet, roses and dust medium long finish. Very enjoyable. Still a little expensive for what it is considering some of the Gattinara and Langhe available but very good.

  Day 1: Decanted two hours and drank with pork belly. Bright acidity, deep red cherry note and some spice/leather on the nose. Pale ruby color. Sour cherries and forest floor. Reminds me of good Langhe nebbiolo but with a more intense core. The tannins are fine and the acidity is significant but not as intense or drying as a 1er Cru burgandy. Like a lower tannin Blaufränkisch? It is ripe like Barbaresco but tight like burgandy. Enjoyable but the qpr feels out of wack. $50-$65 wine selling for $90. Perhaps age will up my assessment.
  
  Day 2: smoother and better integrated acidity. The fruits really shine and the body is silky. Hon the palet, surprised it's only 13.5% abv. Long finish. This spend five years in barrel and seven in the bottle, it has the structure to go much longer.
