  Lovely mature Nebbiolo. Powdery tannins, tons of cherries, some tertiary notes. A touch short of acidity.

  Nu er den perfekt. Syrebalancen er kommet på plads, og frugten er moden og samtidig helt uden tegn på træthed. Desværre var det sidste flaske.

  Tuesday Night Double Blind $50+ (Bin 75 Alpharetta, GA): Browner core with larger orange rim; soy, aged, a bit tired on the nose, smoky, weedy, some ripeness, sun dried tomato, herbs, thinner and aging out, leather, long time in a barrel?; ok, Nebbiolo- Alto Piemonte?

  Another stellar bottle of this great Sassella riserva. Incredibly consistent in quality and flavors. Nose is luscoius with its tarry background with floral and dark berry notes. The palate is chewy and dense, with incredible levels of dark berry flavor. It still has a brightness and underlying acidity that makes it very alive. Still a good hit of tannins at the end, which carries on.

  Still a great bottle, but this one suggests it is time to drink. Lots of power and complexity as indicated in my previous notes, but this one has more bricking and is not as thunderous as before.
