Eh. Others liked this more than I, but all agreed that this was pretty much a one-note wine. Very teenager-like, both in age and in its brooding but simple character. Despite its age, no secondary characteristics. Not convinced this was ever much more than an interesting label.

Has gone up a notch since last time. Nose is dark fruit and minerally tar. Palate of ripe, dark nebbiolo fruit and dark cherries, with some earth, and good acidity. A bit of tannins later on.

Very similar to my last bottle in 2018. Same notes -- a rich and delightful nebbiolo.

Just too much Bret. Five years ago it was delicious.
