I do like this bottle. Medium bodied and easy to drink. Tried it two way, non decanted and decanted. This wine strangely becomes very flat with decanting. That saying, its a good bottle to bring to restaurants so that can open without decanting for hours and could be enjoyed nearly straight away as well as bringing it over to a friend s house for dinner. The 2005 does better with decanting with full aromas releasing of cinnamon and herbs.

Nebbiolo: Si sente un po' il legno, salamoia. Molto meglio in bocca dove c'è una battaglia tra un bel frutto maturo e un tannino molto astringente. Aromaticamente però si esprime poco, specialmente in dinamica e persistenza.

Opened at 3p, served at 9p. Profound nose that gains even more intensity with air, finally becoming too much, as if spoofed. I wasn't quite sure what to expect on the palate, but was happy (and rather surprised) to find this was completely open. Medium-bodied with flavors that fell well short of the nose, scant structure. As if to further signal the limitations of the vintage, the finish seemed to fall off of a cliff. I've great prospects for this in the 2010 vintage, however, and will do my best to source a few bottles. Based on this showing, I can't think of any reason not to consume this within the next few years.

Rusty garnet. Dried roses, tea leaves and plums. Medium body, rosehip finish. Elegant, dry and classic.
