2021 Schmolzer & Brown Nebbiolo

58 dozen produced. Vine age is six or seven years. 28 days maceration on skins. 18 months in old puncheon and hogshead.

Fine perfume here, and a certain cool alpine feel and clarity. Red cherry, new leather, mint and liquorice root, a little spice and orange peel. Medium-bodied, juicy cherry and ripe strawberry, some savoury tobacco flavours, bright acidity, fine brick dust tannin, and a long spicy/dusty finish. So nicely done. It’s lucid and tight, and has the signature of Nebboiolo firmly etched. I’m impressed. Very.
