2006 Pizzini Nebbiolo (King Valley)
Crimson, not dark red. Light, almost a brown tinge in the glass. Violets, blueberries, cloves, tar and something else I cannot describe; almost a sweet tang... Rose petal, orange peel, briar, tar, aniseed/fennel seeds. That's just the nose.
Loving the long, almost crunchy marshmallow aftertaste. Opened up nicely after few hours in the decanter. Crunchy, funky, velvety tannins melt with the gelatinous meat falling off the lamb shanks that were braised in a 2002 Pizzini Sangiovese (left over from the night before), rosemary, tomato & cannellini bean sauce. Great combination of flavours.
Tasted 25th August 2012
