This was a really nice wine, particularly for the price of $44.
Epitomizes the similarities between pinot noir and nebbiolo for me. This drank like an aged nebbiolo with perfectly resolved tannins. I had my girlfriend, who’s not a nerd like us, but she knows more than she thinks from drinking with me guess what we were drinking; and she said Nebbiolo.
Desiccated rose, sous bois, mushroom, sour cherries. It did gain a little body after 4+ hours of being opened, so last glass was probably the best.
I don’t think there’s much use to aging this further, I’d drink up what you have left over the next couple years.
