Been looking forward to this bottle as I’ve also bought later vintages. The wine is garnet colour, but surprisingly towards ruby with a Nebbiolo this old. It has enchanting smells of rose, dark cherries, violets, tobacco and forest floor. High acidity and tannins as expected. It tastes dark cherries, tobacco and leather. Delightfully balanced, amazing length and intensity, and high complexity. This is an outstanding wine. Within drinking window, but can hold for many years.
