Final bottle was wonderful. Roses and dark fruit on the nose. Palate is leathery, bright with dark fruit, with good acidity. The tannins are less aggressive than before. Finish just carries on.

Stunning presentation. Even within 15 min of opening this nebbiolo sings. Classic roses and dark fruit on the nose that just keeps on giving. Palate is leathery, bright yet dark fruit. Acidity is in that "sweet" spot that balances all the fruit. The tannins are aggressive in a good way -- still seems young and alive. Finish just carries on. I'm moving back the drink date by a couple years, because this thing is just not even near any peak situation.

Needed much more than the 2 hour decant it received. Fabulous the next morning.

Probably near the peak, maybe a little past. Perfumed nose. Tannins still front and center but fruit is moving back.

Very much like the 2011 bottle we had (see notes). Luscious. No sign of going downhill, so I'm changing drink date to 2017.
