Old nebbiolo from an off vintage. I don’t quite recall why I acquired this one (or for that matter why Chambers St was selling it, but caveat emptor and all) but it’s not great. Smells like stale cigarettes. Still some acid on the finish which keeps this recognizable.

Excellent although clearly drink up time. Nose is strong and dominated by secondary savory notes along with a strong sanguine undertone and some asian spices and pepper. Much thicker and fuller on the palate than expected with a very tar and licorice character and a bit more rose and a little bit of cherry, coming forward. Finish has more of the Asian spice along with drying tannings. Drinks much more full bodied and dark than I would expect out of aged barbaresco
