Wednesday, January 25, 2012 - Marchesi di Gresy Barbaresco Martinenga: 1978 to 2007 (Acquerello, San Francisco): Medium ruby. Strange burnt sugar and licorice nose that is distinctive, powerful, and pungent, if not particularly typical or enjoyable. Backward in the mouth with high acidity, licorice, blackberry liqueur and very dry tannins. This is a pretty voluminous wine, but it feels leaner and drier due to the green wood tannins. The most promising aspect is its inner mouth perfume and expansiveness, but this seems disjointed and out of balance. Clearly my least favorite of the flight.
