Medium ruby colour. Aromas of peppermint, anisette, earth, plum, and licorice. Medium-bodied, still a little tannic, with tea, orange rind, potpourri, and mint notes. Moderate finish, ~30s, with tea, sambuca, and mint notes. While the secondary and tertiary notes have developed in this wine, I would expect it to continue to improve slightly over the next 2-3 years. Drink now-2014.

Medium garnet/ruby colour. Pretty aromas of licorice, red plums, and currant with hints of smoke and cocoa. Medium-bodied, elegant, but shows some nice grip. Very pleasant on the palate following from the nose. Moderate finish, ~30-35s, with red fruit. Just starting into its drinking window, but far from mature. Should drink well for the next 3-5 years at least.

Good fruit, nose is fine, worked well with food, over several hours still drinking fine but very hard and dry mid-palate. Not clear enough fruit to soften with age, but I do not have much Nebbiolo experience.

Medium garnet colour. Aromas of spice, currant, cherry, earth, tar, and violets. Medium bodied with currant, plums, spice, and violets. Moderate-long finish, ~40s with spice, red fruit. Will be better with cellar time.

Nice nose; lots of fruit with tanins in the background. Drinking well right now!
