Valdinera Nebbiolo d'Alba Sontuoso 1999

Brick/rust.

Frangelico, charcoal,cherry liqueur nose. It is indeed sumptuous (Sontuoso).

Much more open-knit than the Barolos. As good as its going to get, which is pretty damn good. Fat mid-palate for nebbiolo,
acid/tannin kick in lightly in the finish. Just not as packed or complex as the Barolos. Its also less than 1/2 the price of those wines.
