  A little step down from the Muncagota. Somewhat greener fruit. Still nice structure and cellaring potential.

  Decanted 6 hours. Nose shows dark, mysterious, dried fruit and tar. Palate opens with lovely pure cherry and damson plum fruit, classic tar and dried roses. A touch of spice and dry earth. Still a wall of powdery tannins, just starting to soften at the edges slightly. Elegant and classical in profile, with mouthwatering acid and plenty of nuance in both fruit and structure. Plenty of snap in the sweet-tart finish as well, with just a little heat as the glass warms to room temp.

  Drinking beautifully, qualitive edges of youth have evolved to complete seamlessness resulting in its perfect expression of Barbaresco.

  Dark red - hint of brown rim. Berries and tar on the nose. In the early stage of the drinking window - its velvety at the start - gripping tannins starts at the middle and lasts for 5 seconds plus. Very good and ready to drink. My experience with warm vintages from Barbaresco is to better consume early than late.

  Age-appropriate bricking, light-medium ruby; medium-plus aromatics with black cherry, savory tamari, umami notes; palate is medium bodied, high tannins but balanced by excellent remaining red cherry fruit, high alcohol (14.5%), but doesn’t show too much, excellent savory tamari component here too; solid medium-length finish. This is drinking well right now, and I’m glad I opened this bottle. No need to wait, but it should last a decade too. 91
  Update: I'm not sure if it's the hour of air this wine got, or the fact that dinner is over, but this is showing more heat now. A small step down from my previous assessment, but I still think ready to try a youthful bottle if you want to. 90
