August 20, 2022 - Tannins pretty resolved. Still a lovely bouquet. Just more reserved overall than the last time I enjoyed it. I don’t have enough experience with aged nebbi to say with confidence that it’s past peak or in a quiet period or I didn’t let it open long enough. but my gut says “past peak”. 89-90

November 2, 2015 - Tasting at Marchesi di Gresy (Barbaresco): Pale ruby, tawny edge. Pine resin aromatics and not as floral as the '11 Martinenga. Bigger and rounder than that wine. Ripe cherry, chocolate, and saddle leather. Nice sweetness of fruit. Accessible but good acidity, moderate tannins. Substantially resolved at this point, so while still vigorous, it can be drunk with pleasure. Not as woody as nose suggests, but definitely modern. Lovely aftertaste. I liked this quite a bit despite it being the oakiest wine we tasted.
