Tasting notes

Brick-red to brownish colour. Seems quite evolved. A bit shy nose at first, but no oxidation. With some air it shows more. Hints of sour cherries, some florality and tar. Medium bodied nebbiolo in the mouth with very mature fruit. Fading, but still shows cherries, tar, some florality and hints of earth. Some tobacco and bitterness on the finish, which I find typical of Valtellina. Medium to good acidity. Light tannins in the back. Still a good glass, but fading and needs drinking now.
