Community Tasting Notes 6

  May 22, 2022 - Decant and pour. Aromas of cherry, dried vegetables, funk and beet. Flavors of cherry, dried raspberry, tar, menthol and dried currant. Ends with a little no finish of 25 seconds with tar and dried cherry notes. Nose bit funky but still a lot of fruit on the palate.

  March 7, 2019 - The early nineties where hard in Barberesco. Angelo Gaja called 1991 a ‘difficult vintage’ and of ‘low quality.’ Didn’t have really any expectations due to the vintage, but this was dead. Whatever little life this wine had left is long gone.
