PnP. Some bricking at the edge of the glass. Sour cherry, tar and earth, cedar, leather, medium body, medium+ acidity, some drying tannins. Shows its age but also seems like it several years of life ahead of it. Old school, rustic Nebbiolo. If I had more I'd wait 2-3 years before opening another. But this can easily go 15-20 years from the vintage.

still lovely ruby color, unexpected for a 9 yo Nebbiolo. Aromas of cedar, toast, red cherry, cranberry, dried oregano, leather, salami. Body is medium, acidity medium plus, tannins ripe fine and medium, alcohol medium. Finish is medium plus. Time has been this wines friend as it has really come into its own

See prior note- Has not developed much. Still a good food wine, but lacking intensity/structure. Would drink now. Still with cherries and cedar, spice.

double-decanted to travel (unnecessary, negligible sediment); notable earth & cedar, becoming sour cherry potpourri, incense; mid-weight; cranberry-cherry concentrate, sweet-tart, firm & dusty.
