Similar to the 89 with all barbacarlo elements on full display. Softness prevails. Wonderful.

Super cool in many ways. The ripest by far. Getting into ripe old Nebbiolo territory. But still delicious.

I think this was oxidized because all I got on it was prunes and figs. I have a couple other bottles so I'm looking forward to those being significantly better.
