Opened at 5pm, plenty of life, dark cherry, leather. Decanted in a large decanter for 30min before serving at 6:30, and drank over 3hr. Wonderfully full, great structure and balance in tannin. dark fruit, herbs, earth. Some sweet fruit on the palate s well. very nice. showed much better than the 2011 avignonesi the week before.

Beautiful wine - perfumed almost floral nose. Firm tannins. Earthy, red fruits, delicate but still with enough power in the body. Perfection with Italian salami.

Some websites said it was past its prime, but it's held up nicely! We bought this wine @ the vineyard 3 years ago. Just opened Mar 2020. Wasn't that appealing on first taste. But after decanting for about an hour, it opened up nicely with some vanilla, hazelnut, and pepper flavors, as well as some nice tannins I find typical of Sangiovese-based wine with some age. Look forward to drinking our remaining 3 bottles, and to making it back to the vineyard at some point.

Overmatured. Disappointing that a Nobile cannot last longer than11 years. I very much hope that this is only bottle variation.
