Paired with London broil. Decent wine, slightly passed its prime but still had tannic structure to observe. Could have been decanted a bit earlier (opened after shift w/ late dinner). Opened up nicely after 45 mins.

Lovely, warm Nebbiolo. Medium bodied with delicate spice dancing on the palate.

I was lucky enough to try the 1959 vintage this weekend - by far the oldest wine I have ever tasted. We compared it with the 2012 and what a difference 59 years makes! The 1959 had the appearance of a peaty scotch and a taste far closer to port than to a modern wine. Delicious though, with old leather and cigar box aromas front and center.
