  Orange color. Musty and earthy. Not any life after first tasting.

  Fragrant and perfumy, flowers, black tea, quite attractive and tasty but the 1970 and 1971 are clearly better to me.

  Resplendent translucent mahogany hue, floral tones overlaid with haunting woodsy, underbrush and bonfire notes; as it opens up majestically over 90 minutes it puts on weight and becomes richer with hints of roasted almonds; by now it is singing with the power and authority of Pavarotti. It is perfectly poised throughout. After about two and a half hours it bows out gracefully and recedes like a sailboat into a glorious shimmering sunset.

  A pure pleasure to drink. We decanted for an hour and slowly drank over the next hour and the boldness, tannins, and spice went from bold to bolder and the wine got better with every sip. Very special. Wish we decanted longer, there's no telling where the very peak of this wine might have been.

  At first the nose gives you the impression this wine is old, on the brink of being near-passé. But then, as so often with aged nebbiolo, this wine revives in the glass. It climbes and climbes, wow, from old and fragile, it emerges as quite powerful and with even reserves. Very special. 18 points
