Severn Goodwin Delectable Pro

Nose has dried roses, white pepper, crushed cherries, loose tobacco, dried orange zest and dried mud. Palate has dried tart cherry, black cherry, blackberry, wet leather, anise and very dry garden soil. Medium+ tannins not overpowering, more savory/earth notes than fruit expression on the palate; a very nice bottle with a unique expression of terroir. Opened for slow oxidation of 6H then +3H decant, expect this to show better tomorrow. Paired to local beef short ribs (Kinderhook Farm; Valatie, NY) in an Asian-style braising sauce, plated on top of Parmesan polenta, so yum. 85% Nebbiolo, 15% Neretto & Ner d'Ala Anyone approaching the 2016 vintage, please wait until 2024-26 until opening, and likely still too soon even then...

Mediocre and overpriced Nebbiolo blend. Notes of cough syrup and alcohol, with some cherry and tannin. Acceptable but not with its $60 price tag. Any Barolo or Barbaresco would be far better.

Very addictive true Nebbiolo aroma. No fault whatsoever and quite an ideal Piedmont Red.
