La Spinetta Langhe 2008 Nebbiolo, $28.89-$33.99, 90+ points, appeared as a rainbow of sunburst orange reds all the way to the clear leggy glass wall.
Smelled like toast, flowers, grapes, and licorice (very nice).
Medium bodied with mouth watering acidity, crisp, bright, and enduring tannin, flavors that mirrored the aroma with black fruit and pomegranate, and a very long palate trailing finish of spice, grape skin, and some heat (14% alcohol).
