  Barely clinging on to life even though I have had it well stored. Needed slow-oxygenation to throw away some soy/Maggi cube/bouillon notes present upon opening. This fortunately more or less blew off, revealing quite beautiful Nebbiolo notes of red berries, dried red berries, rose petal and dried flowers in the nose. Palate was a little thin for a Sfurzat and the acidity present. Should have consumed it 5 or maybe even 10 years ago, but still not entirely dead

  Russin, körsbär, toner av hallon, jordgubb och läder. Bra frukt, färgen på vinet börjar gränsa mot tegelrött. Önskade att man hade haft några flaskor till.

  Very interesting wine. Purchased in Italy and carried home. The profile is clearly Nebbiolo, but also just as clearly it's own -- darker and more primary than Nebbiolo tends to be from the main DOCG zones for Barolo and Barbaresco. Lots of animal notes, tar, roasted nuts. Soft mouthfeel with distinctive and fine-grained tanins. Will be better in a few years, but showing well now. Brought this to my first visit to Mark's Duck House, and it went very well with some of the BBQ meat dishes we had.
