Amber tawny color. Mostly translucent. Killer nose. Notes of licorice and anise, rose petals, sweet fruit. While fruit forward, it still packs a punch with ample structure and some pucker - even with 9 hours in a decanter. Love the nose on this. Outperformed expectations given the vintage.

Very brick red looking to have the effects of some oxidation... Perhaps just this bottle or maybe the 2003 is feeling the weak aging capability of the insanely hot vintage. From Nebbiolo Harvested sept 23rd that year.

First from a six pack I bought in 2007. In the glass it looks advanced. Smells advanced. Not sure where this is heading.

Still young. Hints of dried fruit, black current, slight pepper, citrus. Very long finish.
