Based on my notes from my last bottle, almost ten years ago, I was worried that this might be dried out and over the hill. This bottle showed well, though. Darker fruits with a slight sappy sweet quality. Light licorice, mint and tobacco accents. There seemed to be a saline, mineral quality, too. Solid acidity. A nice surprise to celebrate little Friday, and kick of an early start to the weekend.

Opened at 2pm First pour, lots of sediment even after standing for a few days. Little aroma, lots of acid and some sour strawberry flavour. Checked on throughout the afternoon, really started to come alive around 8:30pm after 6.5 hr, Ruby, roses, earth, much more life than anytime earlier. Quite enjoyable Still very dry
Maybe we didn’t gave it enough time to breathe but it showed up just as good not outstanding Barbaresco. We still enjoyed but it was far from others’ notes.

Fantastic. Nose of dried herbs, earth, leather and dried cherry / berries. Complex and balanced with long silky tannins
