Wednesday, August 24, 2022 - Tasted through coravin, from a magnum bottle.

In the nose, the wine has aromas of oak, iron and even some smoke. On the palate the wine is full bodied, highly tannic, good acidity. Flavours of sour cherries, ripe lingonberries, dark chocolate and some herbs. The wine is earthy and fleshy, with quite pronounced oak and somewhat noticeable alcohol. The finish is medium long, quite voluminous, oaky and somewhat black-peppery. The wine definitely gets better as it opens up in the glass, showing brighter fruit and better balance.

This wine, at least for me, from a magnum feels still too young. The style isn't either my favourite for Nebbiolo, with strong oak influence and a stronger lean towards power and weight rather than elegance. This one is most likely in a very enjoyable state from a regular bottle, but the magnum needs more time.
