This is close to its end, in my opinion. The flavor and body profile is becoming thin. I would drink whatever you have of this vintage and not wait until 2027, which is when CT says it’s good. We enjoyed this with a magnificent ragu and pasta and fresh salad from our greenhouse. We followed it with our favorite Manchego. We split the wine tasting with an Einaudi 2012 Barolo Canubi. I’m afraid the Canubi won out because of its fuller body and better fruit. But both wines had that characteristic spice we love about Nebbiolos. Both of these wines need an hour at least to open.

Still drinking wonderfully. Good fruit and that classic Nebbiolo profile across the pallet. This might last a few more years.
