Light to medium garnet in color with little sign of aging. The nose is a bit of cherry underneath a lot of forest floor and pine cone. Moderate tannins for a Nebbiolo, fairly round with a weightier mouthfeel than expected by the color. Taste is very pleasant, almost mouthwatering. Tons of cherry, pine/menthol and clove with a long aftertaste. Nice wine at a nice price.

nose is somewhat restrained on day 1, but by day two there is black cherry and a foresty herbal quality that i find very attractive. well balanced wine, classic in style, nothing sticks out, also nothing terrifically memorable either.

Nice aromas of cherry, leather a touch of funky earth. Then some dried cherry and nicely resolved tannins and acidity. A lightweight elegant wine that's drinking beautifully.
