Just entering prime drinking window. Irresistible bouquet upon popping the cork. A testament to the greatness of the 2013 vintage across the board in Piemonte.
The most striking attribute is the freshness & lift provided by the acidity, in balance with soft tannins and silky blackberry fruit. There is a hint of tertiary development that keeps things interesting on an impressively savory finish. Not terribly complex but oh-so-satisfying.
Day 2 brought out even more character. Ridiculous QPR. I wish that I had bought a lot more of this. The 2013 doesnt look to be available in the US anymore...
Purchased a few bottles as part of a mixed case from a dinner with Alberto in 2014...
