  Happy Nebbiolo Monday dear Friends!
  
  This needed one hour of slow ox and bam! Don’t get me wrong, the tannins are still super young and I don’t think they will ever be fully absorbed but they are sandy enough to enjoy them. The fruit is dark with minimal raisins and not near the stunning purity of the 2001 Sori Ginestra an absolutely outstanding wine!
  
  My last bottle and I don’t believe the tannins will be fully absorbed before the fruit faints. Still an absolutely beautiful Modernisty
  
  Drink now - 2027

  One of my last bottles and in my opinion fully mature. Very finely grained tannins, medium long finish and a complex nose of dried herbs, meat but also still some raspberry fruit. Absolutely ready for business and to be opened within the next two years. Lovely and with quite some elegance.

  Nach wie vor sehr präsent. Tolle tiefdunkle Farbe mit leichtem Rostschimmer am Rand.
  In der Nase blumig angenehm. Im Mund sehr dicht mit Aromen nach Himbeere, Pflaume, aber auch Teer, kräftige Gewürze.
  Sehr angenehm.

  aperto assieme al 2006, finisce per esserne un po' la brutta copia: meno intensità e complessità al naso, ancora un po' dominato dalle tostature, e tannini che risaltano, garantendo meno armonia ed equilibrio. Buono ma non eccellente.

  classic monforte dalba stuff, nearing its peak perhaps but still lots of life in it. Aroma is matured but can still find some fresh floral scent not all dried flowers. Fruit is somewhat lacking or rather hiding in the background. Lots of terrior stuff of woodiness, minerals and dried vegetation. Only one bottle, what a pity, this is really good stuff, bottle purchased in Hongkong in 2011.
