Community Tasting Note

• Pinot Peter Likes this wine:

  May 8, 2021 - The 2013 for me is a more classic tasting nebbiolo from Barbaresco. Starting to show a brick red colour, great acidity, tannins are softening and the fruit favours are beginning to become more pronounced. Flavours of tar, leather,raspberries and tobacco. There is a dryness on the palate initially from the tannins with only a slight sweetness from the fruit. This is starting to show balance. Opened from the cellar at 60 degrees F. This opens up after the first glass as it warms in your hand and begins to show more weight on the palate and sweetness from the fruit. This becomes a great tasting wine as you let the bottle open up. I will decant or let the next bottle sit for a couple of hours . This will age well.
  Tried the left over wine the next day. Softer and way more fruit forward. Excellent

She exactly agreed with your review of this vin - so much so she re-published your review in the WSJ today. Too cool. Now we're going to have to go grab a bottle or two of this 2013!!!
  
  Keep it up!
