  February 29, 2024 - Day 7: this feels darker and more savory than the 2019. Black cherry, tar, licorice ,earth, spice. Hints of rose petals and This feels a little bigger and hotter but not as persistent as the 19. Very pure and feels translucent. Hints of sandalwood Palate is similar. Good grip and acid. Ripe black and red cherries, licorice, tar, earth, leather with a bit of spice. Medium bodied with nice energy, no noticeable tannic structure until the far end of the palate. Very pretty with red fruits. A real savory mushroom/soy pulse into the finish which widens well and it just so lovely with hints of spice and rose and red cherry. These wines really improve with days of air. Nose - 5.5/6, Palate - 5+/6, Finish - 5-5.5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1.5/2 = 17-17.5+/20 (with 17-18/20 potential.)

  February 25, 2024 - This is a fine and elegant wine, but probably a bit early on it. Can't find my scribbled notes. There was a faint must I would sense, not thinking it was corked, I'll call it rustic. I think this is set up for mid-long-term aging. Next one 2028?

  February 4, 2024 - This needs a little decant to unfurl (reticent at first, as usual) but this is straight fire. Lithe and delicious.

  November 3, 2023 - Elegant and approachable. Light on the palate - strawberry, spices, menthol. Well integrated tannins - all quite balanced for a young nebbiolo

  October 7, 2023 - Beautiful. Extremely delicious Nebbiolo that checks all the boxes. Tar but not overbearing, roses (fresh garden, not grandmas perfume as some can be), enveloping bouquet that keeps evolving minute by minute, from deep burgundy like Sous Bois, to light crisp alpine herbs and freshness, to classic, room filling ethereal floral elegant Nebbiolo lift.
  
  Absolutely gorgeous palate, excellent concentration while being extremely light on its feet, punch in the mid palate of acid and meat and crisp, but not crunchy bojo, red fruit, long deep layered finish, always evolving and becoming more exciting as it opens.
  
  Fantastic and can’t wait to see how it ages over several years, it’s got the acid and tannin but the balance of pure fruit to take it there.
