Developed already showing pure Nebbiolo character. Juicy and moore-ish on the finish.

An awesome treat and I really really wanted to LOVE this wine. Probably original storage issues, but it was a bit tired

Amazing bottle. Classic. Grace and finesse of Barbaresco, with beautiful fruit, balance, great nose, good finish. Real luck to have a 61 show so well. Look at that color. A textbook old school Nebbiolo.

Probably topped off when recorked. Too dark, Musty nose. Short finish. Doesn’t show the maturity and development one would normally expect.
