Lunch at Dario and Maria's (Dario and Maria's place, North Strathfield): Popped and decanted over an hour. This was rather splendid (ran against the Brezza 04) and showed very well, fresh, fleshy, juicy, fruit still showing strong, perhaps a smidge of volatility, plenty of tannic grip as well. Yum.

From Coravin. Gave this a little decant to get some air into it and it showed extremely well from the first glass. On the nose rose, raspberry, tar and a little cherry. In the mouth (and despite the vintage) it was super fresh and wetly enjoyable with a gentle tannic tug which belied the main varietal. Very nice indeed.

Decanted for 2 hrs and drank over 3hrs. This needs the 2hrs decant. Lovely fine tannins and one of the most quintessential nebbiolos I have had. And for the price (in a difficult vintage) unbelievably good!
