Had with L's home-made lasagna. Very nice acidic wine that went very well with the rich dish. The wine looks Purple with some brick-orange on the edge. The legs are Fast. It smells like Blackberry, Black currant (cassis), Plum, Forest floor, Rose, and Violet. It tastes like Forest floor, Oak, Violet, and Smokey Bacon. The body is Medium/Full. The wine has Angular texture. The wine finishes Long.

i was really quite impressed with this.....it has all of the nebbiolo character at such a low price. It certainly does not have the depth, layers of length of a good barolo but man.....what it has, it has in spades....really pretty

Have to echo kdawg's description of this wine, pretty on the money. Not a great wine, but drinking it outside in 103 degree heat probably didn't help. More to the point, this wine exemplified why I found nebbiolo annoying...it could have really been many wines, and pinning down distinctive varietal characteristics was difficult. That said, price point was good, and although it was not drunk with food, would have been fantastic with a great variety of dishes.
