Wonderful ripe berry nose - you can smell it 3 feet away. But that is the star at this point. The wine was pleasant - slightly souring fruit but no real body or depth. Short finish. Maybe more time will help.

This has fairly concentrated notes of cherries, licorice and tobacco, finishing with drying tannins; I would recommend holding for a few more years, as this seems rather austere in its current state

Young, but sufficiently forward to get enjoyment today if you are in an experimental mood. Aromas of dried flowers, chestnuts, seasoned oak, and pie cherries. A mouth with firm but round tannins, fresh acidity, oaky notes, and pure fruit. The burgundian character of the mouthfeel, combined with the nebbiolo flavor profile, put it right into the center of my wheelhouse.
