Matt Neel Likes this wine:
March 14, 2015 - Dinner with good friends at I Trulli (I Trulli, Flatiron, NYC): Lightly bricked opaque blood. Closed, vitamin nose; the purity is there but this need 6 hours open, at least. Now, opening a bit, deep and dark, black cherry, crotchy, licorice; no spice, but it's coming. Increasingly as the wine breathed it showed oxidation, and as a flaw not a pleasing complexity in an aging Nebbiolo; this would very much concern me if I owned some of this. The palate has silky, terrific balance. Cherry skins. Unready, tannic. Good, tannic length, chewy. Hold, but due to '82 fat it is pretty terrific with food, even now. But keep an eye on that oxidative note...
