I would expect more tannins from a younger nebbiolo, but I'd have to say a very silky wine. Nose had a youthful waxiness to it but it drank younger. Very food friendly and I enjoyed it

I enjoyed this bottle. Not as good as the Nebbiolo we had from barrel yesterday but nice nonetheless.

Solid Nebbiolo after 14 years. But Altamira is just too darn expensive.

This bottle may have been corked but the tannins/acid were so over the top, it was hard to tell. The final product was abrasive and harsh.

Drinking very well. Normally don't venture off of Cabs but this is a nice wine. Economical too for an Altamura wine.
