  8/20/2022 - Presidio Wine Bunker Likes this wine: 89 Points

  Tannins pretty resolved. Still a lovely bouquet. Just more reserved overall than the last time I enjoyed it. I don’t have enough experience with aged nebbi to say with confidence that it’s past peak or in a quiet period or I didn’t let it open long enough. but my gut says “past peak”. 89-90

  From magnum. Not as soaringly beautiful as last time but served in little bitty glasses. Took some time to open up too so I think hold.

  From magnum and absolutely stunning right now. Amazing complexity on the nose without straying into the heavy tobacco character that I am not such a fan of and then silky and supple on the palate. Top notch deliciousness. Drink or hold in magnum.

  Great vintage, tasted out of mag. Smoking right now, pronounced earth and sour cherry, light, elegant, tannins are softer and the wine liners for a while. Showing well.

  Tasting at Marchesi di Gresy (Barbaresco): Pale ruby, tawny edge. Pine resin aromatics and not as floral as the '11 Martinenga. Bigger and rounder than that wine. Ripe cherry, chocolate, and saddle leather. Nice sweetness of fruit. Accessible but good acidity, moderate tannins. Substantially resolved at this point, so while still vigorous, it can be drunk with pleasure. Not as woody as nose suggests, but definitely modern. Lovely aftertaste. I liked this quite a bit despite it being the oakiest wine we tasted.
