Spiced tart cherry/cranberry. Herbal, like a cherry/cranberry cough drop, and in a good way. Acidity is starting to fade, but still just barely in harmony with the rest of the wine, but despite it being nebbiolo, I feel like the tannins are already starting to fade. Good as an introduction to nebbiolo, but doesn't pack the tannic punch that I look for in nebbiolo (from my admittedly very limited experience). Probably at the end of it's drinking window.
Having said all that, despite what might sound like a middling review, it still packed enough punch and intensity to stand up to a hearty bowl of chili I made even if it wasn't the best pairing.

This time no notes. Had it stand alone. Fairly balanced, but the high acid requier some food. I am not fond of the high acid Italian wines.

Dark cherry and blackberry fruit with notes of black licorice and earth. Hint of vanilla on the long silky finish. Great QPR!
