Decanted for about 30 minutes. Nice big Italian nose. Fresh cherries followed by candied cherries on the medium-long finish. Moderate and silky tannins. Not sure where goes from hear but a solid bottle of wine.

3 Non-B&B Nebbiolos and some others from the Boot (Jeff K's): I liked this wine although for the price, I had hoped for more. This is pretty severe and austere although there is a lot of power going for it. Deep ruby in color. The nose is nice with cherries, tar and dust. On the palate, silky tannins. More muscular than elegant. Some cherry flavors. A bit of complexity. Not sure this is at peak but I don't see where this goes from here either. An interesting wine. Some liked it more than I.

Dark medium-full bodied, dry. Initially closed, then opened to black berry, black cherry, rose and violet floral notes with dusty anise on a polished firm tannin finish.

Opened up over time to show extremely floral (rose petal) notes with some light berry flavors. Well balanced but needed 45 to 60 minutes to get there. Nice accompaniment to crab pasta roll with lobster reduction sauce at Angeli's Restaurant with Rick and Linda on New Years Eve.

With lasagna. Some barnyard on the nose and palate. Opened up with air, but not really performing before the last glass. Didn't stand up to the Marques de Riscal Reserva we also had.

Udmærket til tilbudsprisen på 70 kr., Nebbiolo uden overdrevent fadpræg. Ved åbning lidt hård i det, men den åbnede sig en del i løbet af 1-2 timer.
