  체리, 자두, 라즈베리와 같은 화사한 과실향에
  아직은 어린듯 빡빡한 타닌
  높은 산도, 뭉뚝하고 벨벳같은 질감
  아직 시간이 필요한듯 하지만 지금도 맛있다.

  Two bottles tasted text to eachother one opened three days in advance and one freshly decanted. The difference is noticeable and almost remarkable. This is still a young wine, but after three days open it is really lovely.

  The '16 Via Nuova is a very well-made wine, but the style is clearly not my preference. As such, I find it a bit hard to rate, but I rated it for my enjoyment level.
  
  On the nose, I found expressive aromatics of dark red to black cherry, sweet spices, dark chocolate, dark floral tones, lavender, and fresh herbs. It is a very dark, spicy expression, with quite a bit of influence from the chocolate and spice tones, I assume a consequence of the wood. On the palate, the wine is medium to full in body, quite intense at this stage, but with fine grained tannins and a sense of creaminess that makes it drinkable despite technically being highly tannic. I found dark red cherry fruits, black floral tones, dark chocolate, and sweet baking spices on the palate.
  
  While technically this wine was very good, at least in this showing, I found the expression a bit muddled and a bit too dark and spicy for my tastes in Nebbiolo. I'd be interested in trying this wine with more age. I actually found more enjoyment in the '18 Mosconi from Chiara Boschis at La Festa this year, finding that wine a bit more classic than this '16 Via Nuova.
