On the palate, this wine exemplifies the classic attributes of Nebbiolo, with its natural tart acidity and grippy tannins, yet it offers a fuller mouthfeel than often associated with this varietal. The flavors evolve from sour cherry to raspberry and tobacco leaf, providing the wine with exceptional length and a persistent finish. While already showing beautifully, the Steenberg Nebbiolo is poised for excellent aging potential, promising to evolve splendidly over the next 7 to 10 years. Those who appreciate the complexity that comes with time will find this wine rewards patience, building upon its already formidable award pedigree.
