Fully mature Barbaresco with the smell of a lot of aging nebbiolo aromas. It has perfect harmony on the nose with a concentrated complexety witch I haven't experienced in a long time. On the palate the wine has a perfect balance of the old prominent and soft tannins, and the earthy old fruit and quite high acidity. A elegant wine with a lot of power and a long taste.

Pale ruby coloured wine with notes of autumn leafs, and all the smell of an old wine on the nose. The first sip of the wine has the taste of sweetness on the palate, with un-noticeable soft tannins, and the almost absence of fruitiness, but balancing the reductive notes to the softness of the tannins, as if the wine wants to tell me: 'sorry, but this is all I got left after patiently lying in your cellar for 15 years, but if you concentrate, try to enjoy my last efforts of serving you the rest of what I got' So I make a brisket stew with my SousVide, tendering the meat for 24 h, and hopefully give the old bottle some respect.

A full bodied and deep dark red colored wine with concentrated taste of dark red mature fruit. A well balanced wine with still enough tannins and acidity to balance the power of all the fruit. The 2005 is much more powerful and fruity than the 2004, and a better balanced wine. The wine has a long and some spicy tones in the aftertaste.
