Front edge of the window. Perfect linearity from nose to palate. All the rose petals and asphalt, but a solid dose of purple raspberry and Morello cherry. Beautifully balanced structure - enough fruit to wow without having to rely on sweetness, built on terrific acidity and tannic structure. Great stuff.

Very tight upon opening. Decanted for around 2+ hours. Pale red color. Very traditional nebbiolo notes of red cherry, cinnamon, some floral notes, a bit of cedar cigar box. Similar flavors on the palate with a bit of worn leather mixed in. High acid and tannins on this wine. Enjoyable with food but I do think this needs more time in bottle. Would hold for a few more years before trying again.

Direkt vor dem Probieren geöffnet und belüftet: - Farbe: Granatrot. Am 1. Tag bläulich, am 2. Tag Richtung blutrot. - Geruch: Nicht besonders offen und intensiv - Geschmack: Kirsche. Etwas Nelke und Gewürze. Aber nicht die typische Süße / Erdbeere. Langer Nachhall. - Toller Wein. Eher klassische Langhe. Nicht so typisch Alto Piemonte. Wird sicherlich über die nächsten 10 Jahre noch besser.

Strong legs. Cherry, rubber eraser. Dry, strong mid mouth tannins. Rose petal finish.

Not ready. Needs time to soften. Even on day 2 was still tannic. At least 3 to 5 yrs
