Saturday, June 4, 2016 - Cork was a perilous, as expected.
Decanted and the wine smelled of roses and mushrooms and on the palate there was lingering finish of tart red cherries. The acidity was fantastic for a wine of this age, and it really opening up after an hour or so where the tertiary notes of tar, truffles and cedar gave way to some red fruit dipped in licorice. Drink now, but could hold a year or two. Old nebbiolo is thrilling!
