I tasted these 1989s and 1990s during a visit to the winery in November 2009. I was struck by how fast the 1990s have developed and am tempted to think those wines were not stored perfectly for their entire lives, as I have tasted far fresher examples in the US. The 1989s were more satisfying.

A recent gathering of passionate Nebbiolo lovers in Boston provided a great opportunity to open a wide range of wines spanning four decades and the full gamut of styles. The wines were critically evaluated and discussed without food after which they were heartily enjoyed with a variety of delicious homemade dishes, among them our hosts' spectacular braised short ribs, which were so exceptional they nearly stole the show. The wines were decanted for several hours prior to being served and tasted blind. Given the casual nature of the evening notes on these wines should be interpreted as impressions rather than formal tasting notes.
