Community Tasting Note

Tim Heaton Likes this wine:

Monday, October 10, 2016 - Mature; in a perfect place now, not likely to get better. The color was still holding quite well, I thought. The nose, while it opened with some VA and a pretty heavy dose of farm matter, cleared by about the 6 hour open mark (this was Audozed for 4 hours, which did little, this really benefited from 90-120 minutes in decanter), and it continued to get better right through the last sip, some 3 hours after it was in decanter. Medium-bodied, correct and very clean on the palate, with lovely aspect of tension and very pure Nebbiolo fruit. Once the some of the off-putting aromas had cleared, the perfumes got better and better with each glass. Showed better than I'd expected and hoped for even if most would have given up in the first hour. Drink over the next several years. 13,5% abv., recommended

Served non-blind.
