2018 Dogliani San Luigi Vigna La Costa, Chionetti
This has been a stunner since the get go, see previous notes below. Now it has gone into hiding. The nose is very backward, deep and earthy with delicate notes of plums, iron, cinnamon and shoe polish, but only when you swirl the glass vigorously. Needs plenty of time.
The taste is tight and restrained with locked up black fruit, taut tannins and a long, balanced finish. Glad I have more. 8+ years.
