Just into the drinking window now I would say. Remember I had a bottle 2 years ago and found it to tannic and closed. Now it has a nice and inviting nose with leather, sandal wood and floral notes. On the palate concentrated dark fruit, ripe prunes, and a long finish with tobacco, cigar box and anis. A well performing Nebbiolo. Delicious and hard to not sip from until the bottle is empty. 92P

Allowed to breathe for thirty minutes prior to tasting. A complex Barbaresco that was very enjoyable, but could age until approximately 2018 or longer. It had a red brick color with numerous slowly forming legs. On the nose there was plum, bilberry, and a suggestion of smoke and dust. On the palate notes of blackberry, bilberry, earth, smoke, and a touch of leather were present. It was medium to full bodied wine that had present tannins with grip, and the finish was lingering.

Nice tannins, round nice and great potential to grow. Loose without red meat.
