In lovely shape, with aromas of dried flowers dried cherries, and a touch of licorice. In the mouth, plum, red apple skin, strawberry jam and wet redwood bark have a wonderful supple tannic backbone. A touch of sour cherry lingers in the finish. Very pretty.

Rustic. Orange peel, strawberry, clay notes on the nose. Traditional in style. Tart on the palate initially evolving to a sweet cherry core. Cranberry, strawberry fruit too. Brilliant acid and tannin balance. Lots of length. No rush here. Classic.

Lovely! Dark sour cherries, dark berries, menthol, some baking spices. Really nice Nebbiolo. Long finish. Good mouthfeel.

Powerful and pure dark cherries & herbal notes. The power seems accented by the aromatic depth. Tannins are silky, but firm. Gorgeous Barbaresco.
