Perhaps a bit past it's prime but the freshness and purity this still had surprised me. Dried mountain berries, cool herbs, dried flowers and crushed rocks. I would not put this at 30 years old.

Super cool and traditional. Doesn't taste like an 86!

Most mature Nebbiolo I've ever tasted, all the squeaky high notes had aged into a blood low pitched roar. The iron minerality is perfect. A lovely, enjoyable, & contemplative wine.

Whoa now, '86 Nebbiolo drinking better than most Barolo of this age!

Sour cherry; smoke spice, very high acid. Patrick loved it, I thought it lacked body and texture. Perhaps a tad over the hill in its old age but aging elegantly
