IMO White was busted long before move 27.  16. Nxc6 looks like a serious error,
but Black has already outplayed White in the opening to reach this point.  For
instance, 13. a3 looks weak, guaranteeing that Black would have play on the
queenside.  If White is forced to play a3 at some point, it would only suggest
that 9. Nc3 was bad, or maybe even 6. d3?
