  Medium in color. Very aromatic. Notes of black tea, cherries, and some floral/herbaceous notes. Medium body with mild/moderate tannins. Similar notes on the palate but also some sour cherry. Overall interesting wine and great value.

  This wine has a deep ruby color. I drank most of it over 2 nights and saved enough for a small glass on the 3rd night. It is highly concentrated with puckering tannins that were very prominent on night one, less prominent on nights 2 and 3. The dark fruit began to appear on night 2 and was more apparent on night 3. The obvious conclusion is that it is not yet ready to drink. I suspect that it will be much better in another year or 2.

  1st bottle of 6. Triple decanted and consumed over several hours. Notes on opening: Opaque ruby. Dung, dark fruits. Closed, possible cork taint, which dissipated. With further airing, some dark fruit profile became evident. Very good wine, but quite tight. My friend enjoyed this and preferred it to the '22 Burlotto Langhe Nebbiolo served alongside it. (90-91).
