Perhaps never meant to age this long but still very drinkable. Subdued nose but classic Nebbiolo flavors and a slight tannic finish. Still interesting to drink and should continue to be for at least a few more years.

Good but a bit past its prime - all tertiary notes. Lots of bricking. Still quite drinkable and interesting. Still a lot of drying tannins on the finish. Not bad for a declassified Nebbiolo aged for 15 yrs.

Some wines with Pizza (Il Forno and back to Sashi and Sharon's): According to CT, this was last bottle from over a case of these. What a great value! No hurry though, it is at peak but certainly has time left. Ruby/purple in color. The nose has cherries and a minerally/tar note. On the palate, good acidity. Vibrant cherry fruit. Showing some layering as well. Tannins are mostly resolved. A delicious wine.

Very smooth. A very good wine. Just like a mini barolo. Last bottle unfortunately.
