Santo Stefano Di Neive Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2007

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 — 19 days ago

Going big and still holding back. Nothing and everything. Bathtub candles, oregano rolls, machine screws, cinnamon turmeric parfait. Wow. — a month ago

Terrific! Started a bit “tired” but after 60 min of air it was truly singing! — 13 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.

Asili Di Barbaresco Nebbiolo 1998

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 — 25 days ago

Forestry red fruits. Nice acidity. Might’ve been a year or two past its best. — 2 days ago
