Langhe Nebbiolo

Well, it does come from Serralunga, so the depth and structure aren't exactly surprising - but this one feels like hard labour. Chocolate, dark fruit, and oak dominate the profile. It's restrained, powerful, saturated to the brim... and yet, oddly vacant. Maybe it's not ready, maybe it never will be. Still, there's something cool about that iron-like finish - cold, precise, and a bit brutal. But yeah, this feels more like damage than pleasure.
