I would not call it Rose, it is more like top class claret! Great wine!

I am afraid I have kept it too long, so much tertiary notes dominating now like leather and musk. However the power of fruit did not make it dead. 8-10 years should be max for this wine:)

Bit shy in the beginning but after few hours it opened up beautifully showing this great ald school nebbiolo:-)
