  January 17, 2017 - Last bottle and a very respectable showing, elegant , fragrant, and softly balanced nebbiolo, enjoyed with sousvide duck leg confit and mushroom risotto.

  August 30, 2016 - This bottle had definitely seen better days. The nose was beautiful and smelled like a bouquet of roses in an old library, with a some sweet caramel notes. The taste was of red currant and lingonberries, but with a sour (acidic) ending and a metallic aftertaste. Still possible to drink, but not all that enjoyable. Better with food.

  July 31, 2016 - From memory. Decanted 8 hours, flavors much as previous, but color and body better from the start. Again, not a blockbuster, but delicious with teres major. and artchoke/cheese ravioli.

  June 15, 2016 - From memory, and after a brief decant. Garnet with rusty edges, fresh light underripe red fruit and flowers nose, full but soft palate. Certainly no powerhouse, but much improved from the first bottle, enjoyed with spaghetti and meatballs.
