This was an amazing bottle of wine. It’s good a bottle of aged Nebbiolo as I’ve had in a very long time. Still bright and fresh, robust fruit, great, secondary softened tannins, but still lively acid. Everything you would want in a mature, old wine that still has life, fruit, structure, balance, length, all the things. Had with Ken, Sara, Linda for Ken’s birthday. It was the first bottle to disappear. Splash decanted early in the day, probably 6 to 8 hours before we drink it. Stellar. Great wine experience.

Danny Yu dinner. Everything it should be. Fresh. Clean. Wool, honey, rich and in balance with intense acid lifting the whole palate. Of note, had next to 2012 clos du Bourg Demi-sec that had crumbling cork and was oxidized. This showed fresher, thicker, denser, and even sweeter. Brilliant bottle

Drank At Subterraneum with Joe and Paul Costigan. Very easy and gentle, soft acid, nice secondary evolution. I wonder if it would evolve better with a cork than a screw cap. But it was lovely, only 7.5% alcohol, with soft, round, gentle flavors of pineapple lemon and grapefruit pith. Enjoyable, if lacking the acid and cut I normally like
