February 19, 2024 - Pop n poured. Floral notes slightly sweet dark fruit and remaining tannins not obtrusive. Opened up some after an hour. No reason to hold as fruit likely to fade

January 21, 2024 - PnP at restaurant…waited 30min to start drinking and consumed over next 90 min with no fall off so probably no urgency yet to finish off your stock…

August 23, 2022 - Opened 4hrs prior to dinner & settled on slow-ox in 2 Riedel Burgs & cork out. I loved the pristine fruit & basically everything about this wine tonight. Semi translucent bright red w/ ambering edges. Rose petal & spice on nose. Palate is weightlessly energetic & elegant w/ captivating Rainer cherry, wild berry, light menthol, licorice, mineral and emerging forest floor. Has Nebbi's structural masculinity but also a Chambolle like lacey femininity. Dam, I wish I had more of these! I drank my other 2, too young. I'd run right out & buy a more recent release but this producer's wine need significant cellar time. Even this '07 this could easily go another 10+ yrs. Really excellent right now w/ plenty of air. Becoming very Giacosa like. 14.5% alc went unnoticed. Served & drank in the high 50s/low 60s. 94-95
