Was going to decant, but tasted first and decided not to. Glad I didn't. The wine was best upfront and did not get much better over the night. Dominant flavor is prune with some black cherry and black currant notes. At first I would have given a 91-92 but the wine did not gain complexity and only became more pruny over time. Great QPR and nice entry level Nebbiolo, but still lacks the complexity of an extraordinary wine.

Fresh bright nose of cherries and mushroom. Palate is bright and acidic with moderate fruit and more significant tannins than before.

Fresh bright nose of cherries and mushroom. Palate is bright and acidic with moderate fruit and soft tannins. Pleasurable nebbiolo on the light side.

Cherry, very fresh nose. Palate is bright with rich fruit and good acid. Good bite at the end.
