Nebbiolo Tasting (Tim and Elliott's Place, San Francisco): A bit of bricking/garnet which is surprising for its age; aromatic, significant VA, slight chemical note, almost like banana candy; palate is light bodied, rough high tannin, some underlying strawberry fruit, high acidity; short finish. Not flawed, since the VA somehow works, but the short finish and relative lack of complexity compared to other wines tonight hold this back. 88

Encore très costaud, la chaleur de millésime se fait sentir (l'alcool est perceptible en finale). Aromatiquement intéressant, mais pas encore complètement développé. A ce stade, il manque de raffinement, à attendre plusieurs années pour voir s'il se bonifie.

VinItaly Day 2 (Verona, Italy): Pretty rose, paler rim; deep flora, super fresh, soil, cherry, strawberry; sweet fruit on palate, floral, nice structure; delicious.
