Dark cherry and plum surge forward with remarkable intensity, layered with cedar, dried herbs and subtle spice. The structure is impressive yet graceful. Firm tannins carry the concentrated fruit without overwhelming. Mint and floral notes add complexity to the long, savory finish. Pure Nebbiolo power held in beautiful restraint.
