Community Tasting Note

Friday, September 14, 2018 - After only a hour open in the bottle, it poured with some big, joyous aromas of wild strawberry, candied and dry red berry fruit and a seductively sweet floral perfume. Additional swirls in the glass gave up sweet orange peel, wood glue, cherry cough syrup, and a touch of spice.
On the palate it was snappy and fresh with fine grain tannin that is far less austere than the past few vintages, at least at this very early stage. No harm at all in opening one now to see if you like it. I did and will at least grab a six pack. 14.5abv
I was initially worried about the ripe vintage leading to darker fruit (like 09), but it seems to have retained its red fruit character, albeit with a very sweet nose and 14.5abv. It may have less longevity, but Nebbiolo regularly fools me in that regard.
