Friday, October 25, 2019 - 1989 Retrospective at Leonti

Darker on the nose than the SSR. It's meaty, ferrous, and more savory with darker profiled Nebbiolo fruit. On the palate, it's dense yet extremely well balanced with a sappiness and breadth in a more directly powerful mode than the SSR. A serious, regal wine that demands your attention whereas the SSR draws you to it. Fantastic, but lacking some of the mystery and grace of the SSR. Wonderful.
