Single Blind Flight of 2007, 2008 and 2009 Giacosa Asili
The outperformer of the flight - to the extent that we thought this could be the 2007.
Incredible aromatics. Slight chinese herbal notes, tobacco, coriander seed with ripe cherry, lush red fruit and roses backing it up on the palate. Elegant finish and very happy with this. I would pick up more if the opportunity arises.

Cork is intact and in good shape. Light ruby color with some sediment. Very little aroma. If anything, it smells like medicine. On the palate is very light with a little hint of fruit and no tannins, cough syrup. This is a huge disappointment. I agree with other comment that this is like a langhe nebbiolo. Drinkable but no pleasure, I wouldn't waste my liver on this.

Plus évolué que le rabaja 2014 bu 1-2 mois avant. Tres beau, Petale de rose, fruite rouge et noirs, encore la characteristique Bonbon du rabaja.

Drinking well, though I think this would benefit from some additional time in the cellar.
