tasted immediately from the bottle and followed over the course of five hours. typical nebbiolo aromatics were apparent at the outset. a somewhat simple but enjoyable wine, especially with food. over time, the palate changed into a largely solid wall of acid and some tannin. this is a good wine but from this bottle, i don't expect much improvement.

Good color. Nice fruit on the nose. Good acidity and tannins for the meal (lasagna). This is a great food wine. Moderate finish. Decanted for an hour or two. Still has life left.

decanted 2.5 hours. lotta good earthy flavors. Starting to show some age. I would drink now. Not much time left before it starts to lose its luster.

Decanted 2 hours, Drinking well now, dark fruit and tar coming through, dry, good tannins and balance with a long gripping finish. Great food wine.

Old Doug Event (Bado's Cucina): Big food wine. Dark red fruit, tar, bit of oak. Strong tannins. Went well with the pasta course of the meal.
