4liter size, due to the waxed top, the 1997 needs more time. Fantastic Nebbiolo that is a completely different style. The balance an tannins are perfect. But this was only decanted for 4 hours prior to consumption. Should have opened yesterday.

It comes to a point that you realize, that you've named every single expression of Nebbiolo as your favorite, sexy and elegant wine.

I had this 97 from a Jeraboam that had been opened the day before. Overall beautiful even after traveling and being open that long.
