This is a great wine with a noble, going forever aftertaste. Head and shoulders above most overpriced Italian Nebiollos. I woke up this morning with a clear memory of this wine on my palate, something I did not experience even with Latour or Mouton, for example.

This was my last of four 1968's that I had over previous 10 years. This bottle also traveled a bit more than it probably should have. Yet, it was a pleasure to drink, with a delicate and distinct perfume well sustained through the evening. The bottle, as distinct from the previous three, was a little past its prime. The aftertaste did not last at all, and the colors are now on the wrong side of rusty.

Agree with all who tasted in recently; good wine, not very subtle, with a very strong cherry in the perfume and still tannic but very drinkable.
