Description
Classic Piedmont, and, it got fresher and fresher with more air, opening up with really nice red cherry scents. Absolutely feminine and just beautiful. What a bouquet here. The palate every bit as good. It had pitch perfect balance, with a stream of fresh acidity running through beautifully defined flavours of red cherries, and then dried earth, spice and mineral washed with just the littlest layer of beef stock. With time, it open up even more into a beautiful mouthful of pure, fresh cherry fruit. There was still a little layer of tannins towards the back-palate, but this was drinking beautifully, exiting in a finely focused finish that had a sneaky length to it.
