This opened up after a 5 hour decant and continued to get better throughout the dinner. Still a wonderful, lifted, red fruited beauty on top of the aged tobacco leaf tertiary characteristics.

Tasted next to 1978 Pora, Ovello, and Montefico. This wine had the loveliest nose. Pretty flavors with lots of floral notes (roses and violets), red cherry, leather, and mushrooms. On the palate, this seemed to have the lowest acidity, but remained well balanced. There's a good amount of red fruit left, with cherry, raspberry, underwood, forest notes, and tar. Long finish. Lovely wine, probably the most elegant and pretty of the 78s and just a tiny step behind the Montefico.

This is still astonishingly fresh and dense. The nose is expressive but shows a bit of VA, while the palate is just super-charged Nebbiolo. Dark fruits and floral essences with layers of complexity. Loved it and astonishingly it may still improve.

Vanskelig å score denne. Hadde fortsatt en viss struktur og tanniner, samtidig er frukten sviskete og ufokusert. Ble noe bedre med luft, men ingen optimal flaske.
