Roses and red fruit: raspberry as much as cherry on the nose. Really lovely florals. This is supple and giving on the palate, with lovely inner mouth perfume, more florals, and a lovely sense of balance. Nothing really sticks out here, it just works. Grace and depth with lovely focus. Finishes with fine firm tannins on the back end. This one grew over the hours we drank it. Drinking at a youthful peak.

Garnet in colour fading to petal pink at its rim. A revealing nose with compelling scents of roses and jasmine joined by dried cherry and cranberry notes and details of brewed tea and truffles. Its clarity, elegance and accessable texture made me think of a Barbaresco in a blind tasting.Still youthful and has many years to offer its charm.

A big drinking pleasure. The 2007 is in perfect shape and harmony. Fresh for the vintage and intense both on the nose and palate. Crushed blackberries & violets, sweet plum, sage, licorice and chestnut meld in a bouquet of diversity and balance. Profound. Classically structured with noble, refined tannins.

2007 Barolo and one Barbaresco in Tucson (Ciabot Tucker): Double decanted in the AM, then checked in on around midday, decanted for an hour or so then rebottled for drinking over dinner.

A concentrated and layered Barolo, with sweet dark cherry and herbal notes dominating. Energetic and likely at peak, should hold for a decade.
