  Showing some promise after a day open but not really enjoyable to drink at this point. Hold and hope is all I can say as I have not had much luck with this wine.

  Semi opaque medium tint of purple. I get a delicious whiff of black cherry, cedar, tobacco and spice box. On the palate the wines visual and nose bely it’s power and structure. It has a very forward stab of fruit alongside a crescendo of tannins that present cherries, lingonberry and leather on the initial palate. The tannins sear my gums and carry me to the midpalate of more stark red fruits and that earthy component. The finish- dry AF, really has some juiciness to it. The cherries are the dominant force battling the astringency. This wine is a cherub, the tannins almost too much at this stage but I feel this wine will evolve in the next 5-10 years. I’m going with 92 points but either decant the hell out of it or put it away for a long time. $30 and 4 stars for this Nebbiolo. Drink from 2024-2034.

  Very well balanced, tasty and easy drinking. Rich fruit, mainly berry and cherrt and acidity that is just right. Went well with eggplant parmesean. Should hold well for 5 year window

  Moderately dark garnet color and medium body in the glass. The nose is not intense but is redolent of strawberry and flowers. This young Barolo is remarkably smooth, integrated and open with firm tannins that enhance the flavor profile. This should be fine in the cellar for a decade but is drinking beautifully now.
