  Absolutely incredible bottle. Big complex nose, insanely elegant palate with a long finish and such a deep flavor. Agree with the poster below—like a fine burgundy. Just begging for more age, will keep an eye out for this in the future. So much potential here.

  shy but very complex .. at first I thought there wasn't much there but with air a wavy kind of airiness came into the wine .. it's been a second since the tasting and I don't remember the specifics but the wine became more and more moving .. I'll take better notes with my second bottle : )

  Decanted for 6 hours.
  
  This is a striking bottle.
  
  Spectacular nose of floral and to a lesser extent mineral (iron oxide), graphite elements. Medium- body. Translucent red garnet with a bit of brick at the edge. In the mouth complex... Cherry, orange, cranberry, thyme, graphite, some earth,. Finish is long with orange candy, ginger, cinnamon, cranberry, iron oxide, touch of leather.
  
  Paired with lamb shoulder chops and a kale caesar.

  This had a very lovely nose that was more roses than leather. The palate was a bit subtle, but once it opened up it was lovely. This was typical of the mountain nebbiolos I've had in that it was like a Barbaresco-lite. But this is very tasty. Maybe I need to drink these earlier.

  Such a wonderful bottle of wine. I love the elegance of the fine tannins and delicate red berries. This is such an incredible iteration of Nebbiolo. To me, it’s like great burgundy.
