tasted side by side with 2016, aromas are more lifted but more tight on palate. dried bing cherries, leather, firm- long tannins.

Really enjoyable now. Although a bit short and not the most complex.

Great vintage! This is good to go now with a decant but I think it will be great for a decade.

Red berry fruit with tannins that explode in the back of your mouth and a wonderful soft finish

Right in the middle of new world and old world - ready to drink now. Still bright and rewarding, plenty of tannin for bistecca.

Fruit comes forward first on the nose, with notes of cranberry, sweet raspberry and velvet. The palate starts with the same, with bold ripe red fruits, then opening into leather, wood, and developing Further into velvety, long tannins on the finish. Nebbiolo sounds intimidating but it’s surprisingly medium bodied and the tannins, at least here, are delicate in the end. Paired with Italian Gorgonzola cheese this becomes transcendent.
