  I had this wine the first time at Quince in San Francisco and was so impressed that I bought a bottle online while seated at the restaurant table. It happened to be the last bottle left for sale in the US! Two and a half years later, we're drinking this on New Years Eve and it seems a bit past its prime yet still delicious. Nose is barnyard, sandalwood, leather. Acidity and tannins are great but I'm wanting a bit more body. Licorice, garrigue, black currant leaf. Drink immediately if you have any left because it's most definitely on the decline.

  开瓶后香气很开放，但是入口酸度有点突兀，倒出半杯后瓶醒2小时。干花瓣混合泥土，微量咖啡和铁器。酸度和单宁强壮但整合得很好，有非常好的产区和品种特征，有柔美和优雅的感觉，咸鲜收尾。酒液一开始有些浑浊，但在杯中越来越清澈。3小时后变化还在继续，有时红果占优，有时咖啡占优。总体来说酸度和果味逐渐升高，越来越新鲜。5小时后果味逐渐低沉，咖啡和泥土又逐渐占主导。很好的变化和性价比。

  Bill's wine. Deep medium red with a pale edge and no browning. Easily identifiable as aged Italian nebbiolo with complex, tarry fruit, soft tannins and length. Outstanding! I would be perfectly happy if every nebb I drank for the rest of my life was exactly like this.

  Medium light red with pink edges. Definitely and aged Nebbiolo nose,damp earth, tobacco, tar and some nice black cherry fruit. Delicious earthy cherry and tobacco flavours and a medium length dry finish. Still may improve but this is in the third stage of development.
  
  I think these wines need to be enjoyed in a more academic setting, hushed room, with a leisurely paced meal.

  Beautiful wine at this stage. minimal sediment. Decanted -- best after one hour. Nose of Cherries, eucalyptus, vannilla. On the palate Cherries and minerals abound; firm structure mild tannin very approachable now. Would try agian in 2017. Best in Gran cru burgundy glass.
