By the glass in restaurant setting. Classic Nebbiolo - cherry, leather, loam. Very tasty. Notes from @Rbhan12 suggesting long decants to get the most of this are almost certainly very good advice. I thought I was getting only the tip of the iceberg of what this wine might give. For now:
score: 90+. Relative to expectations: ++

Apologies to write a 4th note on this wine...so damn good at the price. Slow ox'd for 12 hours and was drinking beautifully. Consistent notes and scores with my prior notes.

Decanted for 30min, poured back to bottle to mid-shoulder level, slow ox'd for 8 hours.
Nose just exploded with candied raspberries and strawberries. Hints of rose petals and cranberries. So aromatic. Palate is powerful but elegant. Ripe acidity and big tannins. Primarily berry flavors. Finish was long and structured.
This was a pristine example for preparing a wine in advance. Insane value for $18. I've gone through 6 bottles of this wine in this month alone.
Drink now with a slow-ox or hold for another 5 years easily. 91-92 with upside.

Had another bottle last night at a restaurant with family and everyone loved this. Consistent with my prior notes, really started to shine after being open for an hour.

Cherry and leather. Strong tanning, but very smooth. Great wine.
