  July 16, 2023 - Deep, brownish red colour; with an aroma full of tertiary flavours. Smells of leather, tobacco and dried fruits, primarily dates. It has a good, moderate intensity and is really clean and beautiful.
  
  The palate has soft, suede tannins. That is to say that they are soft but still have some rather stout texture to them, they tend to coat the mouth but without overstaying. The acidity is very mellow but not to the point of being flabby. This wine is complex, well balanced and displays the flavours of a gracefully aged Nebbiolo.
  
  I had this with a 2010 GD Vajra Albe and it was really amazing how different their development was. The Albe had much fresher, floral, red fruit aroma compared to this one. I definitely wouldn't wait much longer on this one, as it is really as good as it'll get. Just some beautiful, aged Italian wine.

  December 7, 2022 - i found it still very hard, fruity core which I usually like a lot was missing, a bit lean and not very complex

  December 7, 2022 - No hurry to drink. Evolving beautifully with roses and cherries on the nose. Tannins resolved, good acidity, nice balance. So glad I listened to Isabella and stocked up on these.

  September 8, 2022 - Decanted two hours. Ruby color, full bodied, some bricking, medium legs. Nose muted at first, but it opened up nicely with air. Mature, with dark cherries, garrigue, leather and nice forest undertones coming out. The palate show nice balance with good acidity and chalky tannins that are getting to the integrated phase. Cherries, balsamic vinegar, leather, coffee beans - so complex and so enjoyable. The finish is medium long, with some spice and nicely-integrated oak.
  An excellent Barbaresco at its peak and at a very attractive price point. Drink within the next 3-4 years.
