What to Expect

Nebbiolo is a fickle grape famed as much for its pale appearance as for its tannic character and produces some of the most perfumed and richly flavored wines. Though generally only medium-bodied, the wines possess rose and anise scented aromatics and deep flavors of cherry, orange peel and subtle green herb tones.

Opened around 1:30 pm when the wine showed a very pale bronze color with no red left - exhibiting a very soft nose of bouilion, spice, earth, and porcini - faint in the mouth with good and intact strucutre, no sense of damage just seems very faded with echoing strawberry fruit and a mineral core - arund 8 pm this has filled out well. the nose remains subtle with a base of tarry minerality and some sandy nuances as well as a sappy herb note. In the mouth this is showing beautifull with superb integration, just shy of velvetty with lovely sour cherry fruit over limestone. Finishes a bit short at first but really read more...

EOY BO dinner at Craft. decanted for sediment just prior to drinking. OMFG. these are the bottles that make you seek out great bottles. This wine was extraordinary. The nose was an incredible mix of truffles, sea salt, black cherries and violets. The palate was overwhelming; layered with wave after wave of velvet-y-goodness. It attacked with precision, elegance and richness- the proverbial iron fist in a velvet glove. Truly magnificent. one of the best and most memorable wines of my life.
