This time the nose was more expressive, but the palate I found lacking and with the same bitter and drying tannins as last time. I wanted to give it another try, but now I'm done with this.

Popped and poured, then drunk over four days. Muted nose, it slowly opened up, but first showing medicinal a bit, and only later a classical and fine Nebbiolo nose. Better on day two and three. Nothing special though. Not very expressive on the palate either and rather light-medium bodied. It gained in presence and substance on day two and three. Tannins are somewhat drying, though not particularly powerful. Not impressed. The 2008 was so much better...
