Roagna Barbaresco Tasting

Enjoyed this better than the Barolo back in Feb. Faset was most enjoyable between the straight Barbaresco while the Asili was my vote between the VVs.

  France, Champagne, Champagne Premier Cru

  2000 bottles produced, disgorged Nov 2016 with 2g/l dosage. Pop this after a disappointing L’accomplie last week. This was singing, the usual high tone red fruits notes, bruised red apple, lemon, mango, banana. Structured palate with gooseberry, tropical fruits, red apple, cream, high acid, full body, creamy mousse with a long finish. As it lose its bubble, it became very vinous.

  Pale ruby, meaty, bacon, some rose, airy aromas. Palate had orange peel, strawberry, meaty. This was the more masculine compared to the earlier 2 but lots of going on in the palate. Would benefit with more air or age.

  Lots going on here, heady aromas, rose back with some savory notes, med body, silky tannins with touch of VA. My favorite amongst the VV for the drinking pleasure it offers now.

  The least expressive amongst the VV tonight still lots of red cherry, strawberry. Palate had lots of stuffing, dense, high tannins with a rather bitter finish.

  This probably have the most going on amongst all the bottle but still tight fisted. Like mini fireworks going on and so dense and weighty.
