Just classic. Drinking window has opened, but many years of drinking to come. Mostly tertiary notes of truffle and earth.

I think it got hot. Smelled and tasted like paint thinner. Also had a telltale rusty rim. Bummer! Probably a Vinopolis purchase.

Typical Nebbiolo with a clean finish, not rich but smooth

2006 vintage. Wow. What a nose. Fresh marzipan, almonds, violets, tar, bitumen - a LOT going on here. On the palate, medium bodied, high tannins - grippy and omnipresent but not overbearing. Great acidity. Cherry, kirsch and tarry on the mid- palate. Nice, long finish. Much better than expectation. A top '06.

2006 vintage. Enjoyable over lunch. Not spectacular but solid.
