Taut and linear in profile, with dense, beefy tannins shoring up the cherry, strawberry and iron flavors. Spice and earth elements emerge as this cruises to a long finish. The mouthcoating tannins are ripe. Best from 2019 through 2036. 1,050 cases made

A black stretch limo of nebbiolo, old-fashioned in its Italianate sleekness and tension, this coasts by on bitter tannins without revealing much else.
