Back to trying to find some interesting new Nebbiolos.  The color on this is brick red and I can spot a Nebbiolo by its color in the glass of red with tones of rust color halo.  I’m crazy for Nebbiolos.  It’s earthy, it’s sexy and it’s different. (I like my men that way too.  lol)  On the nose I get that mushroom, wet stone or clay smell, with the earthy herbs and floral smell.  On the mouth, this is very well-rounded and not harsh at all like some Nebbiolos that are older vintages.  I get a buttery, high tannin, medium acidity wine that goes down very easy and for the price point, it is a winner.  I will definitely seek this out and purchase again.
