Vinetasters: Brown Bag (Skokie, IL): Served double blind. Something not quite right on the nose, but the tannic structure again pointed me fairly quickly to nebbiolo.

Rich, soft mellow fruit with a dark smoky core. Very chewy still. I sense that this is is as open as it's going to get. Tannins are winning the battle here so on the basis of this bottle, time to drink up

Brick red and medium bodied. Starting to develop a bit of bottle sweetness and just hinting at entering its drinking window. The essence of classic nebbiolo, and as good as wines many times the price.

Black cherry fruits with dry toasted black driven flavors. Acid driven with nice underlying sweetness and spice.

Very good, classical nebbiolo. Developing and beginning to open now, but probably still on the way up.
