This bottle was drinking really well. Surprisingly youthful with plenty of fruit and still pretty decent tannic structure. I think the drinking window on this goes well past 2020. However, we bought our bottles directly at the winery a few years ago, so it is possible that they have held up better than bottles on the secondary market. No hurry to drink the last bottle over the next 2-3 years.

Blind tasting. Nose of explosives red fruits, jamy and fresh like the beggin of a home made jam. Mouth dense full of fruit with shy sap, perfect tannins. Ending super class with black cheeries, mineral crushed nuts and a kind of caramel spirits. Ready now. I 'm not a nebbiolo fan but that is good !

Tasted and bought this at the winery in summer of 2015. This bottle was drinking very nicely now. Good balance of fruit and acidity and some earth, quite food friendly. I got just a bit of heat as it warmed to room temp so I preferred to drink it at 55-60 deg. This might still smooth out a bit with more time, and should have at least 5 years left. No hurry to drink at all, but also quite approachable now.

Last bottle of winery purchase in 2015. Consistent with previous notes. Drinking well now, but still could have gone at least a couple of years more.
