From magnum.
Classic nose of herbs, olives, tobacco, deep black cherry fruit.
Lovely and fresh on the palate, delicious ripe fruit framed by bright acidity, tannins there but quite resolved. Nice energy and purity.
Really good, classic CNDP.

Classic tight Nebbiolo nose, leather, anis, touch of vanilla. Very aromatic.
On the palate alcohol is present, also lots of rich fruit and chunky tannins. Good persistency.
All the elements there but this is still a bit disjointed.

On this showing, there’s a lot of mushroom! In a good fresh way. Otherwise consistent with my last note.
Last bottle of this. It’s had a good run.
