Painfully young - the kind of youth that hurts. Not even the flowers, chocolate notes, briar, or tapenade can soften this brutality. Everything crashes into that savage body - screaming acidity and unresolved tannins cutting through like a knife. But is this actually a problem? I'm loving it. Completely not ready, charged with electricity, but fuck me it's delicious. Just violent and gorgeous at the same time. The only secret: several hours in a decanter, otherwise it'll properly punish you. This is masochistic wine drinking at its finest - it hurts so good.
Dried red flowers, chocolate crumbs, briar, and tapenade. Fresh, with acidity that doesn't assault you. Tannins still a touch rough but well integrated - give it another year and they'll be silk. Already delicious though. Has proper Nebbiolo structure but stays friendly about it.
