I love 90+ cellar wines, so had to try this one at a wine tasting. Of course, ending up buying a bottle. Appearance is clean, medium intensity ruby in color. Nose is clean with aromas of black cherry, smoky cedar, earth, and chocolate. I also get a hint of floral off of this wine. I love the Nebbiolo grape, so was expecting the palate to be more of it, but since this was only 25% Nebbiolo, I picked up more of the Cab flavors. Dry, medium acidify with high tannins. An interesting blend, but the next day it did kind of loose its pizazz and interest. (Guess you have to drink it all on the first day!!) A nice long finish and I will rate the quality of this wine as very good. Another interesting wine from 90+ cellars.
