Piemonte et al (Winechester): Some heat on the nose - a fellow diner said tar. Drying tannins. There's lots going on here though - sparked some discussion about the role tannins play in this kind of wine - a fellow diner said that you should think about it like the bone when you eat ribs, it's the meat around it that is really important, this is just there to give it something to hand off. Some disappointment about this wine at the table, but I rather enjoyed it.

Open in the bottle for about 5 hours. Really hitting its stride now. Nose is char, cherries, violets, clay. Perfectly Nebbiolo. Palate is perfectly ripe cherries, roses, burnt earth, ripping acidity and tannins but they are balanced. Long tannic finish. Easily has tons of life left but it’s real good right now so you pretty much can’t go wrong.

Very nice and starting to show well - definitely needs some air. Very light in color - but good power and “lacy” keeps coming to mind. A very high toned, delicate expression of Nebbiolo. Well done.

This was a very nice young nebbiolo. Fragrant aromatics with purple flowers, tar, a little lift of VA. Tannins are fine grained and not obtrusive so as to impede enjoyment. This was from .375 and quite nice.

Disappointing. Super bretty. All fruit leather and tobacco and not much else. Very linear. Not sure if this will get any better.
