Community Tasting Note

MikeDB Likes this wine:

Monday, December 25, 2023 - Good Barbaresco. Very pretty nose. Beautiful rose and white flowers. Tobacco. Cured meat. Pure cherry and strawberry.

Palate has medium high acidity and high tannins. Very elegant delivery of fruit and florality. Was very tight for the first 2 hours with the tannins shutting the wine down on the finish, but once it opened up the finish was long and elegant. Was nervous about some heat damage here but no signs of it. A bit of warming alcohol on the finish.

Would recommend a generous decant or more time in the cellar. For a site (Rio Sordo) known for its more immediate appeal, especially in a vintage like ‘15, I was expecting less power and more approachability, but this could cruise in the cellar if desired.
