  Croatina and Nebbiolo. Uncorked 18 hours prior to serving into 薄はり葡萄酒器 (“Fruit” day): Pale ruby with slightly bricking rim.
  
  Sour red plums and morello cherries. Some faint hints of VA.
  
  Relatively forward compared to the crazy lineup. Very high toned red fruits on palate.
  
  93-94 points.
  
  Candied cherry and apple fruits into the third round.

  I think I'm done buying aged wines. You just can't say where it's been over the years even if it's purchased from a reputable source, in this case Delectable. All I know is this bottle was toast. I'll be sticking to the wines aged in my cellar from now on. Patience is everything I suppose.

  Another mature, attractive wine. Quite dry and a bit austere, this was still so pretty on the nose. Went well with food, a subtle, delicate nebbiolo over all. In a great place.

  First sniff shows moderate oxidation but freshens right up to show very pretty perfume of rose hip, hibiscus, potpourri. Palate is silky and resolved with predominately a tart raspberry and rhubarb focus. Lovely mature wine.

  Mature; in a perfect place now, not likely to get better. The color was still holding quite well, I thought. The nose, while it opened with some VA and a pretty heavy dose of farm matter, cleared by about the 6 hour open mark (this was Audozed for 4 hours, which did little, this really benefited from 90-120 minutes in decanter), and it continued to get better right through the last sip, some 3 hours after it was in decanter. Medium-bodied, correct and very clean on the palate, with lovely aspect of tension and very pure Nebbiolo fruit. Once the some of the off-putting aromas had cleared, the perfumes got better and better with each glass. Showed better than I'd expected and hoped for even if most would have given up in the first hour. Drink over the next several years. 13,5% abv., recommended
  
  Served non-blind.
