Community Tasting Note

Thursday, May 19, 2016 - In which 20+ year old Nebbiolos were consumed (Chicago, IL): Bottle 2010. (Double decanted four hours before dinner.) The nose on this is quite muted, but it does show a hint of black tea, along with some really nice florals. The fruit seems to be taking a backseat here today. The palate is fully resolved, with some of those tea elements showing alongside a nice touch of acidity. Quite balanced and understated, but delicious all the same. I've heard stories of off bottles of Aldo Conterno in the mid-90s, but this is either from a different regime or we lucked out tonight.
