Wine 2 from Nobel banquet (photos not allowed, found via search in app) was youthful and intense, tannins not too obtrusive, and with anise, red and black cherries, and leafy - went perfectly with the ”chicken and porridge”.

Wonderfully structured, immediate notes of tar and prunes especially on the nose... also notes of balsamic and wet leaves

I realize I should have waited, but I'm assuming I won't live long enough to see this come around

The nose is textbook nebbiolo with cherry, sour cherry, tar, almond, hay, tobacco leaves, black tea and roasted pork shoulder juice 😀. The palate is rather big and bold with a strong acid drive, a dry palate through and through, some impressive width, cherry, tea and that savoury note reminiscent of the pork shoulder juice note I found on the nose. The mouthfeel is first soft and nice, with almost a sweeter touch, before a great tannic walls comes and disrupts the entire feel and triggers a rather long finish with tea, cherry, tobacco touches and again that savoury pork note. It's a lovely, not so complex nebbiolo but really well made and offering pleasure by itself or alongside dinner (we had it along chicken gizzard stew and it worked super well).
