Paitin, Sori Paitin, Barbaresco 2001

Deep red.

Sexy almond extract, cherry jam, earth/truffle nose.

Acid-driven palate - red cherry jam, mineral. Huge acid/tannin synergy in the mid-palate obliterates everything except minerality. But this has all the stuff it needs, except bottle age.

Day 3 - Charcoal, truffle, almond extract and cherry jam nose. This is showing a major load of mid-palate flesh for any Nebbiolo-based wine. Which isn't to say that it has lost its structure. Huge acid/tannin synergy clamps down, only much later.
I love these guys. The price is stupid.
