Tuesday, October 17, 2023 - Vinous Piedmont Icons Dinner @ Legacy Records (Legacy Records, NYC): The '04 was fascinating to taste next to the 2000, as the generational change clearly made a huge impact to the style of the wines here.

I found a very classic, pure red-fruited expression of Nebbiolo, with super sweet red cherry fruit, sweet spices, raw meat, and mint. On the palate, the wine is medium in body with a super finessed texture, with almost no perceptible tannin. Compared to the 2000, the flavor profile here was so much purer, without any leathery, slightly oxidative notes. This was a super enjoyable wine, but I didn't find a ton of complexity.
