Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, April 12, 2011 - I love this but love Nebbiolo generally. It's in a dumb phase and took and hour of air to taste like more than vaguely wine-flavored water. After that it is spot on feminine Barbaresco -- great food wine.

To be honest, I'm usually sure about whether a wine should be held longer or not, but this one I'm not sure. It could fade, or develop a tertiary nose. Hard to say but the length of time it took to come back to life (this was not just giving a little air but literally waiting for it to return from the void) give me pause. Will have to check back in 18 months ...
