Opened a few hours prior to service enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 1998 Asili pours a garnet color with a slightly orange rim and a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is vinous with lovely notes of ripe and slightly desiccated fruits: Morello cherry, raspberry, pomegranate, dried roses, leather, some tar, dried green herbs, some anise and dry gravelly earth. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. What a great showing for the ‘98 Asili annata! Drink now with a gentle introduction to air and through 2038. Bottle No. 2476/10,413 — 7 days ago

So lively but yet so complex. Bubbles were like a young vintage, amazing golden hue and great vanilla driven nose. So good — 3 months ago

I had a long note for this. I went to take another sip before finishing the note and the app lost it. The sip was more important and more valuable than the note. This is the height of Nebbiolo and Barbaresco. My patience was incredibly rewarded. This has the stuffing to go the distance but I didn’t miss a thing at 18 years. I’ll end it there. #gratefulforgreatwine — 5 hours ago

Quite deep ruby garnet core with garnet rim . Aromatic and quite deeply spicy on the nose with liquorice , dried spices , red cherry , red plum , rose . On the palate this is quite intense and tannic, red cherry , red plum , saline with smoky , tobacco , liquorice hints . Firm tannins with fresh acidity , sweet spice and ripe red fruit . Good length , this still is pretty young and needs more time . Better in another 5-10 years and will last well a further 10-15 — a month ago

Outstanding and fully developed. This is slightly past the advised drinking window but I had zero complaints. It was a rich brooding wine. Plenty of vigor to go with the maturity. Grounded solidly in Italian soli and dark fruit. Fantastic. — 25 days ago

Really well made, harmonious wine. Balanced and polished nothing really sticks out but at the same time it remains very drinkable. Enjoyed with Vitello tonato in the sun — a month ago

Mature but still with legs. Earthy, mushrooms, weighty. Solid but a bit underperforming for me. — 4 months ago
