Drank another last nite along side of a rosemary & black pepper crusted, pan roasted veal rib chop & onion with side of tarragon carrots.
The wine is stable & sound, with dark garnet core & very little brick on the rim. Aromas & flavors per prior note, quite savory. Tannic structure was perfect for this entree. Excellent pairing.
Bumping my score +1 point. Recommend to drink within 4 years.

This aged very well, showing the value of this modest bottle. Seems at peak, and fair to drink near term rather than waiting longer. Decanted. Modest dried rose petal aromas with sweet ripe cherries. Slowly, scents of creosote or tar begin to emerge. Substantially red fruited & satisfying as any good bourgogne, yet with far more tannic structure. Delicious with beef tartare, quail egg yolk, capers, and balsamic-molasses reduction which pulled forth more of the nebbiolo's creosote.

Another ridiculously delicious bottle of this cheap stuff. Vibrant perfumed nose that keeps on giving. Palate is full-bodiel with big nebbiolo fruit, camphor and acidity, with a good hit of tannins. No sign of aging. I'm moving drink by date back another year. For all of you out there that have some of this left in your cellar -- be happy -- it is in great shape.
