Classic nose features red fruit, tarry earth and roses. Medium bodied on the palate with a distinct wood influence, this is a very pretty though over oaked Barbaresco. Nice length but this is lacking a bit in terms of definition and complexity. Maybe in time the wood will integrate better, but not now.

Layer upon layer of seductive fruit with high toned floral notes are on the nose along with a touch of tar. Rich, deep and expansive on the palate with pure strawberry and cherry fruits melding with spice, zingy acidity and a long, plush finish where some serious tannins check in. Pure & deep, this is in need of time but has loads of pontential and tremendous, sculpted structure. Try again in 7 years.

Exotic spices, spring flowers, warm stones, earth and intensely beautiful fruit are all there on the nose. The aromatics kept changing with nuances emerging every few minutes and the taste features layers of fruit wrapped around hints of earth, cinnamon and a powerful mineral streak with fresh acidity checking on on the finish.
