  January 20, 2023 - Passed its prime as the finish doesn’t hold up, needed about an hour to open up and was only good for an hour.
  Nose: cranberry, ripe dark cherry, dried cranberries, tomatoe leaf, earth
  Taste: dark cherry, cranberry, thyme, potting soil.
  Medium body (lighter than I was expecting)
  High acid, med+ tannins

  February 11, 2009 - Very light in color. Persistent background of orange zest with rose petal & cooked raspberry up front. A hint of root cellar hangs over this. Light to medium in body with delicate tannins coating the whole tongue. Finishes with a intriguing burnt sugar note. Tried this wine last summer and it was wound up tight- has opened up since then. I say drink this within the next 2 years. Went well with a pan-roast of Alaskan black cod, shitakes and pinenuts.

  July 5, 2008 - Started out tight but opened nicely. A bit tannic but approachable enough to compliment the Italian cuisine at a neighborhood Chicago trattoria. Taste of roses and strawberry. Restaurant price was 3x retail. I always love that.

  June 30, 2008 - High toned dark cherry and rose hips on the ripe side but with good acidity. Pale translucent red color. Substantial tannins. No overt new oak. Enjoyable version of nebbiolo. Much better with a grilled steak than by itself.
