Community Tasting Note

• stet Likes this wine: 92 points

  December 14, 2021 - Color: medium ruby with garnet reflexes
  Nose: rich and ever changing. Opens on red cherry and leather. Then there come more and more echos of amarena. An almost obscene truffle note. Behind all this is iron and mountain herbs. Hints of red apple peel, ribes, wet stone
  Palate: medium-high acidity, medium-high tannins, almost light body. Terse. Amarena and leather, iron. Clear, distinct. Not overly complex but certainly sharp and precise
  Finish: medium
  
  Young still. The iron edge is remarkable and pleasant. I usually find Alto Piemonte to need a lot, A LOT of time to come together, way more than even the huge stuff from Langhe. This is not as lean as others of its brethren, so it's actually very pleasant right now. Recommend 4 hours decant, and a steak on the side. Better: a steak tartare
