Top Notes For
Matthew Cohen

Nose: holy cow. Incredibly intense. Pink Rose petals. Almost searing. Gorgeous. Swirling. So pretty. Lilacs. Chocolate. Gentle Nebbiolo spice. A masterpiece of winemaking. A 9.8 nose. So beautiful you can’t believe something this gorgeous exists.

Palate: intense early season cherries. Phenomenally linear. So precise. The elegance on this is off the charts. So juicy and fresh. Hints of leather.

Finish just clings. Nebbiolo spice. Fresh run cherry juice. I can’t believe that this is 8 years old.

A wine you share with your best wine drinking friends.

At this point it’s best in the first 30 minutes after open.

Fass selections.
