The real deal, packning a punch etc etc., but not ready. Not at all. Tight, stale and wound up. Let it rest min. 3 yrs. Great prospect, glad I secured 2 cases.

fine medium red color with lighter rim, at opening all strawberries and tea leaves on the nose, endearing midweight on the palate, very primary, after 8 hours- cherry notes and a hint of pink rose petals accompany the lively wild strawberry notes on a nose that gently wafts from the glass and inspires a smile, savory dried leaves, on the palate joyous- spicy and punchy cherry and berry fruit leading into a savory finish of dried tea leaves and herbs with an undercurrent of ripe fruit, a most attractive wine that should reward a few years in the cellar.

Really wonderful. First blast on the nose was Luxardo cherry. Some spice and lots of earthy dirt. Light bodied, appropriate acidity. Palate is dark cherry, some tobacco & leather. Had a faint moment of chocolate. Nice complexity.

91/92. Very youthful, well oaked, chewy and has excellent length. Open with 7-8 hrs aeration. Drink now or lay down 5-10 years. Would expect a bit more fireworks for a 40 Euro+ wine but this is well made. 14%.

Solid Barbaresco, bright cherry notes with some floral hints.
Drank well, but would benefit from some age.
