Community Tasting Note

  • mattym19 Likes this wine: 91 points

    November 27, 2023 - By the glass at Ezov in Austin, TX. Nose is explosive with tomato leaf, violets, roses, cherries, a little less earth than I would expect for piedmont Nebbiolo but otherwise pretty close. Very precise and compelling. Palate is almost exactly the same; cherries, clay, something slightly leafy, hint of tomato paste umami, big hole in the middle of the palate but lots of red berry acidity and tannins on the finish make it pleasant not weird. This is totally awesome BTG right now.
