Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, June 22, 2010 - Served blind, the rubber notes suggested Syrah, but it was more red fruited and as Cellarid noted, lacked the herbs that Syrah might show. Palate shows red berry fruits and the dark influence of oak that has been integrated into the cohesive palate. Later, some meaty notes emerge. The tannin is way softer than a few years ago, when I brought a bottle to Spencer and Lisa's place for New Years Eve (was it 06/07 or 07/08?). The wine is definitely softer around the edges since then, but it does offer good underlying plumpness. Overall, a very pleasing Barbaresco beyond youth yet not quite into complexity nor maturity. With Cellarid and Bahn Mi.
