Lone Madrone "Bollo" Paso Robles 2002

Light red/rust.

Light oak char, cherry jam, earth, cinnamon. Much more interesting than 3 hours ago.

Broad initial palate-impression is immediately tempered by alcohol and acid-driven tannin in the mid-palate. Coconut makes an appearance, and then structure really dominates the finish. I have no idea where this is going.


100% Nebbiolo, aged three years in a single 500 liter puncheon. From Neil Collins, winemaker at Tablas Creek.


$60?
