Last bottle of this, and also the best. More mature, elegant, nuanced and balanced than earlier bottles. Still good fruit, but with layers of complexity I could not find in earlier bottles. Medium body with well integrated tannins. Roses, slight tar etc. All the usual nebbiolo characteristics. Reminiscent of a better Barolo in an elegant, traditional style. Just one problem - no more left!

Ioppa Vertical at Ekenhov (Ekenhov): Quite fruity and "modern". Not so much secondary notes as one would expect. Very nice fruit, but lacking complexity.

Complex nose with nice development. Balsamico, iron/meat juices, undergrowth, dried cherries, muscovado sugar and tar. Dried roses in a dusty, slightly mouldy attic. Soft, harmonious entry on the palate. Slender body, quite high acidity, nice red fruits and light, ripe tannins without drying sensations. Fresh, mineral finish. Traditional stuff, drinks very nicely at the moment.

Moget och med bra balans. Passar utmärkt till biff med gorgonzola. Dricker resterande av detta vin inom kort.

Typisk nebba som visar en mogen men balanserad kropp. Kommer att dricka resterande flaskor av denna årgång inom ett år.

Fruktigere en 1998 men dessverre korket

Första dagen förvnansvärt ungfruktig men ändå nebbiolotypisk. Andra dagen kommer de härliga mognadstonerna fram.

Lightly corked, good enough for cooking.
