BBQ smoke, hot espresso beans, black cherry paste lead a lifted and broad, completely integrated beam of burnt strawberry, pipe tobacco and dark cassis. 60 second finish was interfered only with an imperative to go back for more. Fully resolved and at its peak, cork on the verge of danger. Unreal. — 7 years ago

Couldn't be happier with this beautiful Nebbiolo, on my birthday. Completely goes with food, and drives hibiscus and rosy flavors, adding balance and peace to the dining experience. — 9 years ago
