Primary sensations for me are oak (caramel, warm spice) and earth. Fruit is still there but definitely takes a back seat. Well-balanced and enjoyable to savor. My only gripe is that I did not get much of the teroldego tipicity (alpine floral notes), so it came across as somewhat generic.

Excellent bottle. Still tastes pretty young. Early part of its drinking window, I think. Layered and complex. Bright red, black and blue fruits. Some herbal aspects as well. In a line up of 10 wines, many had this as WOTN.

Some Italian Wines with friends; 6/14/2015-6/15/2015 (Local upscale Italian Restaurant): Nice showing. A nose of cherries, cranberries and slight floral notes. Tannins completely resolved. Nice texture. Teroldego doesn't get any better than this. That said, I would drink sooner than later. Seems to be at peak. Fresh cherries with some earth and dried fruit. Nice balance. Great with food. Pretty wine.

Nose of tobacco, dark chocolate. On the palate red currant, good acidity. Quite youthful.
