Medium dark ruby red, shading to garnet. The wine has spent some time in new oak, but that certainly has not diminished its lovely Nebbiolo bouquet. Roses, violets, crushed berries and black tea. Tannins that are grippy but fine textured and countered by red cherry acidity. Long finish with substantial complexity.
Without Nebbiolo on the label, this wine apparently does not sell well in this country, and I have obtained several vintages of this wine on WineBid for $10 or $15 a bottle. They drink well at 8 to 10 years of age, but I suspect they will go even longer.
