Community Tasting Notes 8

    March 22, 2017 - On the downslope, though still quite enjoyable. There's still some dusty red fruit here with savoury iron and leathery notes on the palate, but it fades with a lot of air and eventually starts to take on black tea and somewhat oxidized notes.

    May 27, 2014 - tyvärr var vinet inte riktigt friskt så kanske fel att sätta ett betyg,
    direkt ur flaskan tycker jag först det var intressant, om inte annat för det är från 78 som är mitt år. Tyvärr dog vinet ganska snabbt och blev trist rätt fort. dött och kanske även korkat. 85 för öpningen, 60 efter en stund blir en snitt på 74. lite extra + får årgången.

    May 21, 2014 - Tyvärr helt dött och dessutom korkskadat

    May 21, 2014 - Dinner at Villa Tiboldi, Roero.
    The nose is a mixture of bad oysters, wet cellar, cork, and Nebbiolo mixed with dish water.
    Not very inviting, but I had to have a sip or two to find out and yes, this was dead and gone,
    Just dead fruit and acidity/ bad vinegar left in the bottle.
    Sad, but these things unfortunately happens.
