April 28, 2013 - Decanted this baby for an hour or so and it was still pretty tight, but it opened up nicely over the course of the evening. Rich red fruit with a little bit of sandalwood in the nose. Pretty tannic, but not overpoweringly so. The flavor was classic nebbiolo, but it kind of lacked pizzazz. Still, an enjoyable entry-level nebbiolo that paired nicely with (and needed) flank steak.

Not quite together because of the tannin and acid and lean in the mouth. Good wine but not up to past efforts. Overall, extracted style, wonderful fruit, could use time, needs food.
