Very enjoyable, softening up and nice berry flavors after 1 hour, still has plenty of life. Much better than last bottle 2 years ago, showing like a well balanced Barolo but not as deep and with lighter body.

Dark red; lots of licorice, pepper, dark fruit; nice, sweet, well balanced, licorice, a bit tight to begin with but opening up after an hour or so; very nice and likeable

Lots of red cherry with bits of leather and savory spice. Faint floral hints. Very good concentration for a wine at its level with a slightly firm finish. Good now, but I expect it will be softer and better in another year or two.

Gourmet Traveller wine nebbiolo tasting (8 Danks street, Sydney): Cream vanilla ripe plum and red berry fruit and spice over very slight leather notes. Ripe berry fruit, spicy, thick tannin that is quite chewy, light leathery notes, long. Modern. Nice but, because of my hang ups, not for me.

Same as my notes from last year, perhaps just starting to fade a bit. Still very good, don't hold very much longer.
