Terrific! Started a bit “tired” but after 60 min of air it was truly singing! — 14 days ago

I find it puzzling that some wines do this (act “tired” initially but then do a Benjamin Button). But I’ve experienced this before. I’d love to know whether this is associated with certain winemaking techniques.

@Tom Casagrande I agree. But I attribute it to a Nebbiolo which hasn’t seen air for 12 years. But I’m no expert on the matter besides the experience you have: starting tired but opening surprisingly after some time in the glass.

Every sip was more packed and better than the last. Truly amazing taste and different than any bottle I’ve ever tried — 5 days ago

This wine is medium garnet in color.

On the nose & palate are deeply concentrated notes of dried fig, prune, plum, blackcurrant, black cherry, juicy pomegranate, wild strawberry preserves, black licorice, anise, fennel, clove, cardamom, acrylic, balsamic, violet, rose, potpourri, forest floor, potting soil, black tea, & crushed gravel…

This wine has high acidity & tannins, which are fine & integrated with the deeply concentrated aromas & flavors.

The finish lingers. This wine is excellent and holding up beautifully with runway ahead of it still. — 6 days ago

@Dave Clinton Nebbiolo is one of our absolute favorite grapes — as a Barolo, Barbaresco, Langhe, Valtellina… we love it all. And this wine was firing on all cylinders. So beautiful, brooding (dark fruit, spice), & layered. Yum! I’ll bet your Frenchies were delicious, too!!!!! Cheers, Dave! 🍷

ジュゼッペマスカレッロ　バローロ　モンプリヴァート　2004
今が2025年なので、21年前のワイン。

色はガーネット色になっていないように見える。
香りも熟成的なニュアンスはなく、とてもきれい。

飲んでみると、ドライローズ？アセロラ？

ネッビオーロとは思えない香り。ドルチェットもドルチェットらしからぬ香りだったが、その時と同じ香りがする。ジュゼッペマスカレッロ香とも言うべき香りなのか。。。

タンニンは完全に溶け込んでいて、澄み切ったというか、透明感のある果実味。
軽やかだが、緻密で焦点があった感じがする。
エレガントというかとにかく優しく繊細。
ブラインドではバローロ と言えないと思う。
唯一無二のワイン。

ちなみに、最後にオリも一切なし。本当に21年前のワインだったのだろうか。。。
