  Very good. Perfect length, lots of soft tannins, full on depth. This is the right time go drink a beauty like this.

  Medium garnet in color with a bit of orange & clearing at the edges. Full, fragrant & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of strawberries, currants & cherries with overtones of dried orange peel & floral notes of roses, minerals, earthy/dusty, dried herbs, anise, spices & a hint of tar & cedar notes. Medium-full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe red fruit flavors of red cherries, strawberries and tart cranberries with dried herbs, minerals, earthy, some truffles, spices & oak. Long lingering dry smooth finish. Drinks quite well with decanting and extended airing although it has potential to continue developing with further aging.

  Menthol, candied plums, and tar. Plum flavors, strawberry, tar, rose petals. Tannic. This is young, and gives glimpses of really great Barbaresco characteristics. Hold.

  Tight on day one. On day two, opened up into some pretty cherry fruit, but still with some significant structure underneath. This has excellent components, and I suspect will be really nice in several years. Needs a serious (like 10 hour) decant now.
