February 3, 2024 - Bring a Great Nebbiolo (Chez Goldberg, Greenwich Village, NYC): [Double-decanted before noon.] Heavenly black fruit and spice cake nose. Big, rich, and expansive in the mouth but with that classic Giacosa elegance.

February 3, 2024 - Nebbiolo at the Goldberg's
Double decanted in the AM and drunk over dinner
A bottomless intoxicating nose with cooler nebbiolo fruit, rose, violet and some savory notes. Fantastic clarity focus and poised. A vertical, powerful wine with incredible finesse and a sense of effortless calm. Floral inner perfume. Fantastic. Best bottle of this I have had. I will still hold my bottles for a few years thoughts I see this is not yet off the runway. 97+1 person found this helpful Comment -

Leftovers from the previous evening Gala Dinner (in magnum)
A structured firm and vertical wine with terrific clarity depth. Ferrous notes add to the darker fruited perfumed and spice driven nose with some early maturing notes.2 people found this helpful Comment -

November 11, 2023 - Took JoshAbramson’s suggestion and decanted this for 3 hours which was spot on. All I kept thinking was this is so well balanced that it will be drinking well in 30 years. A multi dimensional well judged wine that is modest, polished and confident and it knows it. This wine is in its prime and will drink well for a very long time. Revisit 2028
