Sunday, February 19, 2017 - Barbaresco tasting (at Eli Raban's home, Rehovot): my last bottle - but perhaps I should buy more...
transparent red-brown with amber rim
elegant ripe mature dark cherries nose with tertiary earthy notes and truffles-bitter-chocolate hints, develops gently in the glass over time
medium-full bodied, soft integrated but firm tannins, rich mature cherries (and plums) flavours), elegant structure, fine complexity, earthy, truffles, excellent balance & harmony, bitter-dark-choclate & black pepper finish, fine tannic fruity aftertaste.
Excellent now and can still age 3-8 years more, at least.
