Community Tasting Note

GuanYu Likes this wine:

Saturday, February 25, 2023 - When I cut the foil, I saw the cork had sunken into the bottle by about 1 cm and looked wet. I was very concerned. When I attempted to uncork the sunken cork, the cork slipped into the bottle with just a light push and a noise similar to popping a can of soda was heard. I was relieved knowing that the bottle was sealed despite the sunken cork.

I was going to decant the bottle, but with the cork inside the wine, I changed the plan and just let it breathe in the bottle for 3 hours. The bottle's fill level was excellent.

The wine was fine and beautiful tertiary bouquet and taste of a fully mature Barbaresco in full force. Rim was almost cognac color, with brick red center. Dried apricot, leather, licorice, and tobacco. Very complex and taste kept changing with each sip. Long seductive finish.
