Decanted an hour or so before drinking Red fruit (cherry, black cherry), strong floral- rose, nice spice, slight earth, slight truffle/ mushroom, slight herbs. Good acidity. Lingering finish. Really enjoyable.

Decanted for ~3 hours. Best on pop n' pour and this faded with a volatile note taking hold and marring any pleasure. Hopefully other bottles don't have the same VA.
A beautiful expression of fully mature Barbaresco. Leather and all the other typical aged Nebbiolo flavors on full and harmonious display. It paired effortlessly with the combo of grilled octopus and gnocchi with creminis and maitakis in porcini cognac cream sauce (save for the heavy dose of pepper). Terrific!

Bought from Courtier, supposedly direct from cellar. Totally stewed, undrinkable.

Old and tired and just on the edge of becoming a generic-too-old-red-wine with only a slight hint of tar. Obviously not a well stored bottle.
