Hard to rate - the first bottle seemed irrevocably flawed, and he second bottle seemed to improve over the course of 8 hours in a decanter, and then only developed beyond simple sweet fruit a day or two later. Bottom line - old Nebbiolo requires a ton of air to show its stuff, and I didn't give it enough.
