Quarterly time series development note.. ....Day 1 with pasta..not tomato based. Did very well ....Day 2 with Korean pork.tofu fried rice. Was decent-not-great. Acidity went well with the dish..even the accompanying fishy kimchi ....Day 3 with hamburger/sweet potato fries and corn and feta hash with curry leaves . Was delightful! Best of the 3 days

Pork loin braized in grainy mustard sauce with all the sides - creme fraiche, polish sauerkraut, buttered spaetzle, even leftover creamy mashed potatoes
Delightful! Short decant. Did fine with the sauerkraut too. Continued sipping post dinner and realized how much of a Day-1 food wine this is..
This wine has many more years left in it...at my rate of consumption, the last one will be in 3 years....and will probably be the best

First red of Thanksgiving meal. 4 hour decant. Did well with shaved Brussels sprouts salad, chimichuri sweet potato, mashed potatoes ..and yes turkey...The barolo that followed was only a marginally better complement

Better the second night Needs decanting and time to open up then you get pretty aromas of rose petals and dried cherry with baked plums. Juicy palate with a long finish and classic Nebbiolo tannins Drinking nicely now but can cellar a few more years easily

Every time I open a bottle, knowing that i am drinking a nice-year Barbaresco, that hits all the cylinders, for a mid teens price...is immensely satisfying
This one over 2 days. Clearly a food wine. Day 1 with Domino's pizza (slathered with anchovies and onions in piri.piri oil...and made crispier). Day 2 with buffalo-lamb meatballs with pasta.
Worked best on Day 2. Not sure if food match or 1 Day in fridge
This wine is very good now ... but I think it's peak is 2-3 years away. And hope it is a long plateau ..have a lot of inventory!
