Community Tasting Note

  March 27, 2016 - Very enjoyable and balanced Barbaresco with old world character elements. Light rusty rim. Moderately strong loamy smell at first but then transitions to classic Piedmont profile after two hours decanting. My guests and I got dried red fruit, tanned leather, pipe tar, and red licorice extract in a "stew" typical of the region. In the mouth it had great acidity, decent fruit, and just enough tannin to make it go brilliantly with the Northern Italian fare.
  
  Drinking great now with years of life ahead.
