Stood up for weeks and decanted off 2oz sediment. Light-medium ruby; aromatic, floral, roses, some red fruits; palate is light bodied, high acidity, high 14.5% alcohol is mostly well integrated, black cherry, a bit of tar and savory tamari; finish is medium length and well balanced. Classic Nebbiolo, at a good stage to drink but seems like it would also last and develop further, good value for its price paid. 92

Decanted 6 hours before serving. Medium-deep ruby garnet. Wonderful on the nose featuring dark cherry liquor and some masculine cologne like notes. Medium-plus body with strong chewy tannins and medium acid. Felt a little thin on the front but offering some dark cherries before picking up a line of cedar through the middle and some tea on the finish along with the lasting tannic impression. Certainly has the structure to age for another decade.

Opened 2 hours ahead. Time to drink these. Still has grip, with resiny savory aspects. The mid palate is a bit lacking. But this is still a very nice wine.

Roasted plum, black tea and leather. Seriously structured and austere with a bit of astringency on the finish.

Color, nose, palate all excellent. Some initial tar giving way to deep viscous fruits. Grip is there too.
