1995 Fiorenzo Nada Barbaresco

1/30/2016 - forceberry wrote: 90 points

Dark, moderately translucent ruby red color with a hint of developed maroon hue. The nose is somewhat dusty and closed with aromas of smoke, earthy sous-bois, a little bit of tobacco and a little bit of ripe red fruit. With air the nose gains a noticeable streak of tar. The wine is dry, developed and complex on the palate with medium-to-moderately full body and quite tertiary flavors of ripe red berries, savory smoke, some sous-bois, a little bit of damp leaves, light roasted spice tones and a hint of sour cherry bitterness. The structure relies mostly on the acidity, because even though the powdery tannins feel ample, they are fully resolved and contribute mainly to the texture, not to the structure. The finish is spicy, pretty acid-driven and slightly grippy with long flavors of sour cherries, some ripe dark berries, a little bit of smoke, light earthy tones and a hint of pipe tobacco.

A nice, nuanced and fully developed Barbaresco at its peak. It feels like this was never a big or impressive wine and it is now going on extended age - there are still some fruit flavors left, but overall the wine is starting to lose depth and intensity, turning more and more tertiary with age. Offers quite a bit of enjoyment, but doesn't reach the level of the best wines of the region. However, at only 30€ your really don't expect it to. Pretty nice little drop.

Fragrante di rosa e viola, ciliegia selvatica e frutti rossi, fresco e balsamico di menuccia con una spezia sottile in sottofondo. Rinfrescante più che tannico, con un buon nerbo. Bel finale floreale.

This is a wonderful offering from the truly great Nada Fiorenzo.
It is very young, but already very drinkable. Lots of air opens it perfectly. Two hours of decanting and drunk over several hours it just keeps opening with voluptuous dark fruit and herbal balsamic notes.
Firm,cool, clean, deep dark fruit and a weightlessness as the usual NF signature.
If the house is unfamiliar - this is the place to start.

Very thin yet overly tannic and dry at the same time. Little fruit with a short finish and no mid-palate at all. Vinous, hot, unbalanced and alcoholic, with the double whammy of drying tannins make for an unpleasant, mediocre drink. Highly unrecommended. -JBL

Facile ma non semplice, né tantomeno banale. petali di rosa, fiori di campo e ciliegia rossa, balsamico di menta fresca con un sottofondo appena di cuoio. Struttura discreta, non aggressivo nonostante la fase giovanile, buone freschezza e persistenza.
Versatile nell'abbinamento

Color is dark garnet to the rim -- this s a big Barbaresco. On the nose, cherry, pepper, smoke, and tar. Palate revealed tart cherry, earth, tar, adn significant tannin. This is still a bit of a handful at this point, but with more time should continue to mellow. Thanks to John Amend (Dallas master of Italian wines) for another excellent Italian.

A few of us shared this bottle in Turin during a meal and it was a very pleasant and still fresh Barbaresco that was at a reasonable price in a restaurant.

More fruit driven on the nose than the barbera, prettier nose, with strawberry, a hint of licorice. Big tannins on the palate. Drinking like young nebbiolo, dusty red cherry.

From a case won at auction for not much money. Lovely perfectly mature Barbaresco.

Appearance: Dark ruby with an obvious brick rim

Nose: fairly muted but shows dried cherry, some salinity and a hint of

Palate: dried cherry and plum, a floral note, some Palma violet, a mushroomy savouriness and finishes with pleasing acidity with integrated tannins. Long finish.

This isn’t a high end Barbaresco but it has stood up well and is certainly enjoyable. It isn’t going to get any better for sure.

Wise old copper-brown color. Floral nose with classic Barbaresco aromas of dried rose petals, cola, and tar. Floral palate full of dried rose petals. Slow, lingering finish. Time to drink this up because the fruit is just beginning to recede while the tannins remain strong. Still, a good representation of Barbaresco expression and a good pairing for pizza.

Lovely light ruby in the glass. Nose is quite subtle, but that seems reasonable considering the age of this wine. All fruit, no signs of development at the moment. This restrictive character goes onto the palate as well. It typically reflects what Barbaresco is all about - elegance, sophistication and vivacity. Lovely structure that will give this wine decades of aging ability. Wait a couple of more years before cracking it open.

Outstanding bottle of traditional Barbaresco. Quite primary, tarry and tannic when opened but developed nicely in the decanter, putting on a nice floral sweetness after 6 hours or so. Complex and in need of further cellaring. Try again in 2008.

Color: brown garnet. Medium
Nose: that burnt pie crust and cherry that talks to you about old barbaresco. This was not a good year I surmise, and you can detect the oxidization - the madeirization almost
Palate: tannins high and acid high, fruit receeding. Nice tertiaries in the dry raisin space
Finish: medium

Old nebbiolo over the edge here i would guess. Still I polished up the bottle so? Best 1h out the bottle room temp

This is in the plenty-good category and a really nice barbaresco table wine for mid-week. Bone dry, bright berries, underbrush, cedar, smidge of juniper and new leather wallet. (Sorry, just got one.) It’s still young but like most Piemonti it warrants a decant. Glad to have more of these.

Decant this for 6+ hours or drink it over a couple days, as it is tight on opening. This note is after a few hours open, when it was just starting to strut... Aromas of red cherry, blue plum, raspberry, menthol, dried mushrooms, sweet almond candy, a little licorice, roses, and bloody steak... Medium bodied, fresh, and satin textured; this is fine boned as Barbaresco goes; tannins grip but do not overwhelm, acid is buried and supportive, fruit is layered and dense... a fabulous inner perfume of stone fruits and minty herbs seamlessly integrates with a long pure finish that highlights minerality, cherry and fine-grained tannin. Very pretty right now, but this deserves cellaring. I don't see it shutting down, but rather steadily improving for 5 to 10, if not 15 to 20. When it hits its stride, I expect it will be elegant and ebullient at once. This is a beauty.

Relativt mörkt röd för en barbaresco. Hög syra och höga distinkta tanniner som balanserar fint mot fruktaromerna. Över förväntan. Ett utmärkt vin som enligt mig inte behöver mer tid i källaren. Lång, intensiv och komplex.

helle bis mittlere Farbe, ganz leicht bräunlich im rot, deutlicher Wasserrand. Viel Kräuterwürze im Duft, auch schon mit leichter Reifeoxidation, Pralinen. Riecht trotz fortgeschrittener Reife nicht verkehrt. Ausgewogen, trotz Tanninrest ein weicher Barbaresco, hat Finesse, kein Kraftprotz, aber mit guter Länge und er macht mir wirklich Vergnügen. Bald trinken.

Double decanted then slow ox for 3 hours, then consumed over 2 hours. Elegant structure, round and well integrated. Dried red cherries, raisins, tar, leather and licorice. Nose was shy at first but came out to play after an hour. Slightly hot going down, but not overly so. Some chewy tannin appeared in the 2nd glass, but settled down by the next. Lingering, consistent finish. Absolutely what one would like with a Barbaresco, very nice indeed.

Beautiful nose of crushed flowers, red fruit, over a crunchy dark berry fruited palate. Very dark, earthy, almost tar-y on the palate. Good balance and some tannins - this could be consumed now or put away for a few years easily.
