Sunday, September 25, 2022 - Everything you'd expect in a barbaresco - leather, tobacco, blue/black fruits and sturdy tannins. It is pretty crazy how young this 1996 feels 26 years later. The age has added tertiary characteristics like mushroom and dirt, while the vibrant, concentrated fruit still show signs of youth.

Even after a night of air, this felt like it still had a decade or two in it. Beautiful wine.
