May 19, 2016 - In which 20+ year old Nebbiolos were consumed (Chicago, IL): (Opened and put into a decanter at the beginning of dinner.) I wanted to like this wine more, but there was just too much chocolate on the nose and palate that distracted me from the other good things here. Seriously, apart from the oak (which, granted, isn't too prominent), this would have been a fantastic bottle. The fruit was powerful and fresh, and there's plenty of stuffing here. But it's all marred by this streak of oak, like some cheap graffiti on a building (I fully admit to being a huge anti-oak partisan when it comes to Piedmont).
