Idiom Nebbiolo 2010

A rich noble excellent red. This Stellenbosch expression of Piedmontese varietal, Nebbiolo, from very low yielding vineyards, has typical garnet colour, a floral bouquet and subtle aromas of cinnamon and nutmeg. Tar and savoury flavours on the palate with hints of wild herbs. A firm tannin finish suggests a wine that will reward cellaring.
