Rich red fruits, tasting a bit more stewed due to the age. Some plum and raisin. Floral aromas (roses and violets). Tannins are still present despite the bottle age. A delicious wine that presents a combination of intense fruit and tannins that nebbiolo is known for combined with the softness that comes from aging.

A powerful hit of ripe plum and blackberries hits the nose. Underneath there is some seeet oak and tobacco leaf.

On the palate, more ripe to over ripe plums and blackberries, a touch of oregano and thyme, and a tiny bit of pepper. The tannins are soft and well integrated. There is a medium amount of acidity - enough to balance the sweetness of the fruit without dominating.

This is a beautiful wine drinking really nicely right now. A nice blend of power and elegance.

All ripe red fruits with little acidity and almost no tannins. This wine was easy-drinking and packed with flavors of cherry and strawberry. Drinking beautifully right now.
