Had the pleasure to share this aged Neb with a friend the other night at the always excellent Bar La Lune in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Plenty of life left in this bottle. Tannins have softened but acidity and freshness is surprising high, considering it's age. Getting cherry, strawberry. I was expecting more teriaty notes of leather and tobacco but instead got a much more elegant Barbaresco.

Wow that’s crazy, sounds great!
Amazing! I had the 1983 and a 1985 cru last year and they were both heavy tertiary monsters with mushrooms, spice, dried cranberries and candied orange peel. I couldn’t find a 1984 anywhere, glad to hear this bottle was a beaut.
I’m looking to get one of these from older vintages, it’s amazing to see that it olds that well
Great find! I am always on the lookout for birth year wines and outside of Cali cabs, the pickings are extremely slim.
