Slight bricking but tasted fresh. A nicely balanced wine with acid in check (always a challenge for Nebbiolo). Otherwise no distinguishing character to note.

Cole brown at edges. Fruit is fading it seems as tannins still prominent and some astringent taste. Drink up good for a daily wine for pork or pasta without red sauce

3/25/2022 - FiggySmalls Likes this wine:
pnp coravin pour.
very pretty light garnet in glass.
nose is very shy: cherry candy, medium oxidation.
palate: similar cherry candy. surprisingly rich with some mild (but jagged) tannin. pretty low acid. pleasant stemmy amaro like bitterness
likable and a good price for a quality back vintage. I'm just not sure this scratches my nebbiolo itch. ...at least on pnp
day two and decanted=same

Not as special or youthful as the 2005. Showing age a bit. Still quite good, similar notes to 2005. Just rougher and more muted.

85. Ok fruit, not a lot of tar/roses, and a bit thin astringent tannins.
would not purchase again.
