A Duo of Piedmont 2004s
Two thousand four has long been one of my favorite vintages in Piedmont. The Nebbiolo perfume that lifted into the sky in the weeks following the harvest was pure seduction. In barrel and later in bottle, the 2004s have always been exceptionally finessed wines. After having tasted quite a few 2004s in recent months, I was tempted to open these two bottles. The 2004s continue to age gracefully, although on this night I found both of these wines less expressive than they have been in the recent past.
