Out of magnum. Renato Vacca knows what he's doing with Nebbiolo.

Fine. Really had higher hopes but appears this bottle didn't age as well as others. Perhaps over the hill for this vintage 15 years on. Only real issue is quite bland with not much going on here. Opened up slightly over time but didn't fully develop.

In a great place right now. Tannins have mellowed, but the structure is persistent. Darker fruited both aromatically and through the mid palate. Smoky notes accentuate the back end. Fantastic wine.
