January 14, 2021 - Classic Nebbiolo for my first try......on the pnp the cork turned to dust and had to be extracted with care and in pieces and with a finer to prevent particles in the wine. Classic leather and rose petals on the nose, cherries on the palate with gentle spice notes. A waft of ether that changed to camphor over an hour. Chalky, dry mouthfeel with slight bricking to the color of this 20 yo wine. It remains consisten over 4-5 hours from decant til through the Jen/HMC tasting tonight. By the end of the glass a certain savory, smokiness emerged and was quite profound shoving the cherries to the background. Nice wine, would be even better with food.

The wine is great from the pnp but you can also give it 2-3 hours of air, too!
Enjoy! Mark -

You can put the cork back if you so desire (of course air would have gone in but at least it can help putting cork back if you are travelling in car) and it wont' spill even if tilted. But importantly very good for old corks. Check out videos. I got a free one from Wine access may be you got it too. I did buy prior to that one also.
