  Was hoping to love this based on reviews. Bought at a liquor store so possible heat damage, but flavors seemed pretty muted. Limited cherry and dust flavors on the nose, red fruits and some tar on the palate. Not terribly complex, some tannins and moderate acid. Potential heat damage or may just be shut down, hard to say.

  Probably the wine of the night last night, but now Day 2. Red cherry aromas. Palate shows some licorice, and tar. Medium, suave, chewy tannin. Really jamming today, as was yesterday. Maybe lacking that next level complexity. Although some orange zest comes through on the palate. Svelte, yet toned with a nice fruit expression. Drink to 2025 at least.

  Thought we'd grab this for a pasta night, and it didn't disappoint! It's been cellaring long enough. The acidity is still there, the nose has lovely floral, tar, and spicy notes which all come together beautifully. Fine balance and fully integrated tannins. Just as a good nebbiolo should be! A bit of a pant dropper.

  Excellent, in a great spot. Complex bouquet of woodsy aromas, violets, raspberries and the unquantifiable Nebbiolo varietal spice. Medium plus bodied, balance of upfront strawberry fruit and fresh acidity with spicy undertones. Pleasant subtle finish with a hint of balsamic. Tannins are ripe and integrated.
  
  I should just always have these in the cellar rotation at the 5-10 year age mark. Good young and improve near/mid term.
