The nose was earthy, showing crushed fall leaves, dark minerals, animal musk and hints of dried cherries. On the palate, I found a soft, soft, soft expression of perfectly resolved nebbiolo, as unexpectedly vibrant red fruits washed across the scenes, leaving masses of earthy minerals and a hint of muskiness. The finish was long, resonating on minerals and earth tones, yet still fresh and showing a final burst of sweet-and-sour red fruits. The ‘82 is completely mature, and likely on the downhill slope, yet hard not to like.
