The wine has a deep, intense garnet color but minimal orange tints that are typical of Nebbiolo with a few years in the bottle. This wine has been aged in barriques as well as traditional large oak barrels. The bouquet needs some aeration to develop fully; then it is typical and glorious: flowers, dark cherries and licorice. Fills the mouth with rich texture and flavors. Very dry; plenty of tannins but they are warm, round and pleasant. Leans more toward Barolo than Barbaresco in its assertive personality. I have had this wine many times over the past decade, and it has aged very nicely.
