  Light-medium ruby; aromatic, floral, spice, red fruited; palate is balanced, light-medium bodied, high acidity, balanced alcohol, red fruited, a bit of tamari; finish is medium-long. Very enjoyable even now, with plenty of room for improvement ahead. 93-94
  A few hours double decanted: phenomenal balance, excellent complexity, red fruited, floral, absolutely lovely.

  Wants air, suggest open 3 hours before consuming or decanting.

  Drinking beautifully with a little air and paired with fire grilled steak. Deep aroma and palate of dark cherry earth leather cigar box savory spice amplified in a Zalto burgundy glass. Tart on the front palate. Perfect blend of fruit acid spice and earth to pair with the umami. Medium body. Long slightly tart and tannic mineral finish. Excellent balance. Early in the peak drinking window. 8-10 years more.

  OK, this is good.
  
  Decanted and let sit for 2 hours before serving with a ragu of braised/shredded short rib over a stout pasta. The wine started with a strong note of tar that became the roadway for the fruits and spices that emerged with air. A long and persistent finish had us taking our time with the wine. Alto Piedmont does it again.
  
  I'll buy some more if I can and let it mellow another few years.
