(100% Nebbiolo, 14% Alkohol) Granatrot, erste Reifetöne. Die Nase ist direkt nach dem Öffnen voll da, zeigt Nebbiolo-typische Noten von Kirschen, Pflaumen, welken Rosen, Veilchen, etwas Lakritze und Anis. Im Gaumen gradlinig, knackig, elegant, bereits gut verpackte Gerbstoffe umgarnen die delikate Frucht, der Wein baut im mittleren Gaumen aus, hat Druck und Finesse, endet angenehm lang auf rote Beeren und eine feine Würze. Ab sofort bis 2033+ geniessen.

I was reticent to open one of these given the notes but this was modestly approachable and will surely improve with age. Tight, tannic a bit astringent but some dark fruit, tar, floral. Nose never really gave much. It did open reasonably over an hour (tannins softened) such that I would open another in a pinch (with sufficient decant time) if nothing else fits the bill. Better than I feared.

Let sit in the decanter and sampled over the course over 3 hours. Never came out of its shell. Faint red fruits and licorice on the nose. Some red fruits, violets and tar on palate I guess but searching for everything. Clearly of the varietal but lacking. I knew I was opening this on the early side but still disappointed in how this performed. If you have this (last of mine) wait.

Drank at the winery, big open nose, power, structure, still a bit young but will be a great wine in a few years with more balance but fruit is there
