Piedmont, Italy. Nebbiolo. 14%. Cork. Source: cellar.Quite formidable and tannic, though the nose is somewhat generic and seems more notable for the process (extended maceration on skins) than the grape or region. Stems and tar, bay leaf, menthol and lavender. The initial impression in the mouth is of richness and a grainy seam of muscular tannins. I've no idea what blue ink tastes like, but this the mental image evoked as I drink. Quite linear and monumental and slightly hard work. 90. Now - 2016 with a T-bone.
