Pretty underwhelming. Not very complex. Leather and earth on the nose. Pretty muddy nondescript flavors though it does linger. Wouldn’t pay north of $20 for it. Definitely a food wine.

Glad I bought multiple bottles, first was bad, assumed it was flawed. Subsequent bottles have shown this t be the case. A good nebbiolo, leathery dark cherry and plum nose, still lots of tannins so a little out of balance. Not sure if it will get better with more age.

Second bottle and I am more impressed with this as a very good everyday wine, but it doesn't yet rise to the level of a special occasion wine. Still lots of fruit just what I would want from a Nebbiolo, right on the edge, but not much more. Might get better but I am really happy with where it is now. Will probably get more.

Second bottle, makes it clear that there was a problem with the first. Needs a little time after opening, red color, red plum with a touch of licorice, very tannic, some bite on the finish.

Had to be flawed, can't imagine a wine being that bad unless something bad happened. Purchased recently so not a home storage problem.
