Good nose with earthy notes. Chewy palate with good fruit, but there was a bit of off-taste, a bit of sourness. Maybe this is finally getting old, or else just a slightly off bottle. But still a pleasing nebbiolo.

Same as recent bottles, Fresh grass nose with dense palate of dark nebbiolo juice, earthiness, good acid, well balanced. Delicious. Still in good shape, not old or flabby at all.

Fresh grass nose and earth. Similar to last bottle -- chewy palate with big fruit and good acid. Still delicious, but I suspect this is the last year near the top.

Big nose with fresh grass notes. Dense palate with good acid, earthiness. Really good balance with nice tannins at end.
