  1967-1985 Nebbiolo and Spanna (Los Altos, CA): Wow, a really foul stench here. Seriously nasty, like old garbage or vomit. I am reasonably brett tolerant but this is something else. I avoided tasting this for awhile hoping it would blow off but it was taking its sweet time so i had to grin and bear it. Surprsingly, not so bad on the palate. Juicy red fruits, spice, nice acid. Actually one of the fresher tasting wines here. Tasty, but that nose! Fwiw, i was using a Schott-Zwiesel mature red wines glass which is a serious nasal concentrator; others with standard INAO glasses disagreed about the nose. My 7/9, group's 6/9. (2/0/0/0)
