87 Points

Thursday, January 22, 2009 - this is a sly one. i get some of the traditional nebbiolo nose - black tea, dried black cherries, hint of violet and some earthy undertones. I don't know how else to describe the nose but a little brash. Forward. Things get more interesting drinking - cherry and some almost blackberry flavours up front, a nice transition that makes me think a little of black licorice, and then very herbal tea-like flavours moving into the finish. Long finish grapey with herbal and almost floral notes. There's some heat in the back end that makes it feel a little disjointed, but it passes quickly. Overall this is a decent wine - for 18 bones I will pick up a couple more bottles.
