  Purchased in Dec 2012 at Wine Exchange OC. Glass top closure was a surprise, but the wine did not disappoint. Cherry and cranberry fruit with lots of earthy and leather notes mixed in as well. Bright acidity keeps it fresh and the tannins have mellowed and mostly integrated with just that tough of dryness on the finish. Great food wine, peaking now, could hold for a few years too.

  light and elegant. POP. Red cherry, minerals decent tannins and structure. Hint of leather on the nose. With air time it did add some complexity

  Dark red color. Aromas of smoke, tar, cherry, licorice, and blackberry. Palate has sweet blackberry, cherry, and plum notes with some tar that emerges on the medium finish. On the fruitier side of Nebbiolo expression and good to drink now. Drink or hold.

  Dark red color. Aromas of smoke, tar, cherry, herbs, and licorice. Palate is closed down with only hints of cherry, smoke, and licorice that are over-ridden by tannins. Opens with a day in the bottle in the cellar, but still a bit on the austere side. Expect some mid-term improvement if the fruit stuffing is sufficient to carry it. Drink or hold.
