This is some of the craziest bottle variation I've seen. Last year we had a bottle that was really outstanding, and now, our final bottle, is just a very good nebbiolo. It is very tasty and delicious but has almost none of the more serious tar and roses of last year's bottle. And the richness has dissipated to merely a level of moderate excellence. Oh well.

This has gone crazy upward since the last bottle we had in 2018. Now it is more like a excellent barolo of the most traditional kind. Serious tar and floral roses on the nose. Palate is rich, minerally, still full of dark fruit, earthy, with a bit of tannic bite at the end.

Still young and gawky. Bit of a funky nose at the front but it blew off. Classic elements of nebbiolo. A good tannic hit at the end. Should be better in a year or two.

A little more luscious than the bottle 8 months ago.
