  A great showing for this wine. Decanted just an hour. Amber coloring and some tertiary aromas belie its age, while the palate defies it.
  The nose shows sweet balsamic, leather, moist earth, tar, but the palate introduces dense fresh but smoky sour cherry fruit. Long and balanced, a beautiful forty year old Nebbiolo that paired perfectly with the pasta and meat sauce

  tasted on 35th birthday weekend. 5/12/19
  
  Dark brick brown. Some signs of age but impressive concentration.
  
  Nose full of dark cherry fruits with roses and floral notes, spice, and sour leather. Very concentrated ripe fruit.
  
  Palate is smooth with dark red fruits, subdued and slightly sour but still sweet, still quite strong acidity (piercing) and s full mouth feel. Tannin is soft and integrated with amazing structure for such an old wine (37 years). Long smooth finish that last over a minute. Mouth watering (likely due to the acidity).
  
  Drinking amazingly well. Would likely last but no need to wait. Excellent. Made me fall in love with mature Nebbiolo.
