This didn't quite live up to its billing last night. It wasn't off, or critiquable, it was just sub-thrilling. (One guest remarked that they might not have guessed it for Nebbiolo; I thought it didn't taste like a '14.) As the silly points-purveyors go, I'm normally a Galloni Guy, but in this case WE (90) is way closer to the mark than AG (95).

Montersino was better, likely vintage issue. This one needs to breathe before drinking. Quite full bodied and a lot of tannins. Tastes of sour fresh cranberries with the associated floral and cherry notes. Threw off a lot of tannin sediment at the bottom.

Definitely early in the drinking window. Modern with fruit purity and touch of balsamic, black cherry. Perfumed but not terribly so. Delicious.
