Community Tasting Note

  • fclarity wrote: 97 points

    June 1, 2014 - Tasted blind, this wine had a red center and light tawny rims. The medium+ intensity nose of brown spices, cherries, honey, and soil was special. It was not obvious this was nebbiolo, but it couldn't have been anything else either.

    In the mouth, this wine was rich and yet refined with light, rounded tannin and excellent length. It was amazingly complex.

    This was the best bottle I have had yet of this wine and it may be because this one was decanted 8 hours in advance. The time to drink this special wine is as soon as you have the chance.
