Sunday, January 1, 2012 - Medium red with a touch of bricking. More fragrant than we expected given its relatively young age. Initial nose was dominated by earth as well as red fruit and rose petal--very seductive and memorable and very Nebbiolo. Later, also tar, violets and spice (? cardamom,though I'm accused of thinking everything smells like cardamom). Not as rich on the palate as the nose would have suggested. Dry tannins starting to soften and relatively tart acidity. Lovely with duck.
