Community Tasting Note

Friday, January 24, 2020 - In April 2015, I wrote a note that said this wine was five years from its peak. I under-estimated. I had had late meetings and dinners all week, so my wife decided to open this after I had been having business dinners with wine for about 4 days in a row without her. I didn't really want any, but I'm glad I decided to take a glass. Still not at its peak but at the point where it is just starting to show the complexity of age, dark brooding red fruit with just a bit of sweet cherry poking its nose out. Classic nebbiolo nose of violets and herbs/ A touch of earth and road tar with forest floor and mushrooms.

This is really really good and will get much better. I accidentally placed two orders for this wine at K&L years ago when I lost track of the orders I had already placed and their inventory dump lasted for a while. I'm certain glad that I did. I have 3 more and I think I should target 2023, 2026 and as long as my palate still lives for the next three bottles.
