Tasting Notes

Mid, mature-looking ruby with orange tinges. Much more mature looking in fact than the Clos de Tart. Very concentrated, classic Nebbiolo nose. Brooding with hints of Chinotto and sweet spice more than fruit. Very beguiling, pulls you right in with dense fruit and the merest hint of leather. High acidity impact, but with such density of fruit. No heavyweight, though. Quite powerful tannin. At the beginning of its evolution but already remarkably accessible. Long. Drink between 2016-2032.
