Decanted 90 mins in advance. Minty and red fruit nose. high acidity; fine but distinct tannin; plenty of sweet red fruit. All settling and well integrated now. Delicious.

Starts of quite toned down, but with some time the nose starts to open up. Some cherries, old wood, slightly developed with some raisinated fruit, tobacco and herbs. With time there comes out more chocolate, roasted oak and darker fruit.
Dry with medium acidity, medium+ tannins, medium+ body and a slightly warm finish.
Don't really fancy this that much, and not nearly as much as some of the others at the tasting. Quite a nice nose and a fairly modern styled palate. Nothing that catches my attention. Would love to try under more focused circumstances though.

dark red-brown opened and lowered to shoulder 3 hours prior to consuming earthy secondary aroma with ripe mature fruits firm body, grip tannins, elegant & thin, well balanced, typical Nebbiolo but from the Langhe, long aftertaste and enjoyable. Yet, not as good as a quality Barbaresco or Barolo.

BRIOSCIA CON UOVO FRITTO E SALSICCIA / Fried Vandeboom Farm red egg, with Moser Cornish hen sausage brioche and crispy skin vinaigrette
Wine was explosive on the nose, but didn't get much of that explosiveness on the palate, lovely velvet-like texture. Nose gave dried cherries and cranberries, leather and game. Palate had subtle red fruits, a bit of dried flower and dark soil. A very nice wine.

Probably still too early. A lot going on with notes of coffee, amaretto and cherry but sticky tannins.
