  Displays all the hallmark Nebbiolo characteristics…Cherry, violets and roses, old leather and tar, etc. Tannins are well integrated but still pushing med+ territory, with that fine grained quality that I usually feel on the sides of my cheeks with Nebbiolo. Incredible wine

  A follow up birthday celebration that was a dual celebration of Sofia & our friend Judy with friends.
  
  I started decanting this at 3:30 and it finally blossomed after nearly six hours in the decanter. I was concerned that maybe it was going to be a second day wine and readied back up bottles.
  
  Served out of magnum and still a beast. I acquired this from the secondary market a number of weeks back. So, it was someone else’s storage. When I opened it, the wine had run about halfway along the cork & slid slightly. Early on, it gave me reason for concern. The taste was slightly off as was the nose...not bad. But, not what I expected tasting it over the first two hours. It was at this point, I pulled a couple of back up bottles.
  
  After I put it back into the bottle and re-decanted it at our friends house, it slowly started to blossom.
  
  The first two hours, it had a fair amount of funk & huge tannins. Many of the aeronautics were dull.
  
  After five hours, the fruits were beautifully, bright, floral, ripe & slightly sour dark cherries, dark currants, black raspberries, black raspberries, plums, raspberries, incense, ambers, anise, very dark spices, pronounced cinnamon stick, nutmeg, clove & vanilla, tobacco, leather, cedar, dry crushed rocks, limestone, deluded, rich, dark soils, truly, elegant, brilliant florals that were dark, red, some blue, framed in some of the most beautiful florals of violets & lavender I’ve experienced. The acidity was a spot on running river. The finish was; glorious, well balanced & knitted, elegant, fruit juicy, landing squarely on spice & earth as it long set & lasting several minutes.
  
  Beautiful wine after hours of stubbornness.
  
  Paired with my slow cooked two day meat sauce. 14 seasonings, whole pork roast braised in oil & garlic and placed into the sauce until it shreds apart, pepperoni & Italian bread crumb meatballs. The best I’ve made it in 30 years of making it. I never measure anything but, going to have to very specifically write down what I did this time.

  Charleston Offlineorama IV; 9/27/2018-10/1/2018 (Charleston, NC (various locations)): Tasted next to the '07 Vietti Rocche - this was a bit more open and accessible. Not sure if perhaps it was decanted in advance or is just softer earlier in its life cycle. Some floral aromatics on the nose. On the palate red fruits, and a bit of tar and earth are coming through - some grip but the tannins are not chewy. This too is quite young and needs more cellar time to fully reveal its depths.
