Well-made Barbaresco from a first-class producer. Firm and dry with lovely aromas of cherries, rose, licorice and tar. Quite mature but will keep for ten more years.

I adore Cigliuti's Barbaresco over a few vintages and bottles. Although this one is aromatically thrilling there's this one weird move on the backend of the flavor profile that turns bitter when I wish it would show just a bit more vibrant fruit.

Decanted two hours prior to drinking. Lovely, concentrated Nebbiolo aromas - young and dominated by fruit and flowers: Dark cherry, roses, violets. After a while more "deep" notes with hints of tar, tobacco, earth. Should promise well for the future. The palate follows the nose, medium full body, good acids and substancial dry tannins. Aromatic finish that just lasts and lasts! Enjoyed with roast filet of duck - great match!

Delicious floral nebbiolo aromas with cinnamon and other spices. Soft and light style. Lovely!

Beaufiful and elegant. Sweet cherry, strawberry, a hint of tar, super fine tannins that don't over power. A wonderful experience drinking this.

Decant for 1 - 2 hrs. Very nice balance of tannins and complexity. Not a big wine but very well balanced.

What can be said that hasn't already. One of the best bottles I've had this year.
