From 3L.

Mid red color with very light bricking.

The nose reveals; cherries, poached strawberries, spiced plum and just a hint of late to the party raspberries and rhubarb, red cola, dry leaves, dry soils-volcanics, soft, dry herbs, dry tobacco, used, dry leather, withering red flowers and red roses,

This is fresh, nice but it needs more 5-7 yrs more time in the cellar. Add a point then.

The palate is ripe, juicy with dry M tannin powder. Tart cherries, dry plums, rhubarb, strawberries, blackberries and some pomegranate and late arriving raspberries, dry soils-limestone-sandstone, crushed rock powder, bay leaf, very understated baking spices, dry tobacco w/ ash, dry, used leather, grilled meats w/ a touch of char, dry twig, steeped tea, some white & black pepper, soft Asian spices, withering to dry, red flowers, nice acidity, well balanced, nicely knitted, good; structure, tension & length 90 second finish that lands on dry earth.

3000 bottles made and only nine 3L’s. This is one of them.

Closing the night during the fifth set of Sinner victory at the Melbourne Tennis Open

No need to wait, tannin is solved
Great concentration in the glass
Not heavy though

Super enjoyable and definitely drank in good company and a fantastic historical evening for Italian tennis šŸ’„šŸ’„šŸ’„

Celebrating my brother and my nephews over
Absolutely a winner
2018 i guess is vintage that gives away a lot early, but that's fine with me
I met the producer at the wine fair of Vini Veri in Cerea last week and he told me to try a bottle of the six i bought and i am very pleased i did
Very long and complex

Initially showing nothing, it takes one full day to develop classic old Nebbiolo aromas of tar, truffle, balsamic and menthol. It is still missing the fundamental notes of autumn woods and harmonious contrasts of dark leather and cool resin aromas.
