I have a bunch of this. Was kinda underwhelmed for the first 10'years. BUT, at age 11 this has hit full stride. Opened one with guests last night and got raves. And, my wife poured the last glass today and was whelmed. So, I opened another and it's just as good.
If you have it, it's ready for prime time. I have Barbaresco's that aren't this good.

Remarkably, to my palate there has been very little change in this wine over 10 years. Very little bricking at the edges, nose of dark fruits, plums and blackberry on the palate, maybe a little violet in the background. Not getting any better, but hasn't gotten worse.

Dark purple, dust and mineral on the nose. Plum and dark stone fruits on the palate. Smooth tannins, this is a (unusual) Nebbiolo for early drinking. A good cellar defender while I wait for my Barolos.

Opened surprisingly well. Smokey with a hint of cherries and sage. Faded within two or three hours. Drink up.
