  November 18, 2021 - Engrossed in conversation with an old friend, it was hard to get the best read on this, my 4th bottle of 2016 Albe. It's still quite solid and quaffable which is a weird way to describe young nebbiolo. Tannins have mellowed already with some fruit quietly dissipating from what I recall from my last bottle about 9 months ago. Perhaps it's entering a dumb phase but still has a bit of life left. I'll try another bottle in a few months. As good as this is, I have a hard time seeing it age well.
