Decanted for about 30 minutes. Nice big Italian nose. Fresh cherries followed by candied cherries on the medium-long finish. Moderate and silky tannins. Not sure where goes from hear but a solid bottle of wine.

3 Non-B&B Nebbiolos and some others from the Boot (Jeff K's): I liked this wine although for the price, I had hoped for more. This is pretty severe and austere although there is a lot of power going for it. Deep ruby in color. The nose is nice with cherries, tar and dust. On the palate, silky tannins. More muscular than elegant. Some cherry flavors. A bit of complexity. Not sure this is at peak but I don't see where this goes from here either. An interesting wine. Some liked it more than I.
