Reticent nose- palate blossomed after an hour of air: herbs, dark cherry, sandal wood, and balsamic. Melting tannins with a savory, evolving finish. Herbs and balsamic really prominent. Drinking very well with beef meatballs and rigatoni in a tomato gravy.

Singing with rich, intense cherry cola notes from the get-go. Sweet, dark fruit all around. A decadent change of pace. Paired ok with apple, cranberry, porcini stuffed pork loin with braised red cabbage and garlic mashed potatoes.

Very clean and bright. Everything's integrated. Nose a bit reticent, but a very nice, medium weight nebbiolo. Love the ruby hues…
