Incredible nose of sassafras, roses, anise, cherries and cream. Just wanted to keep smelling it. Huge core of still-ripe red fruit and loads of tannin left after 25 years! Velvety texture with powerful long beer/cherry cola finish. 3rd of my cache of 25 y/o Proddutoris, the best yet.

1989 Produttori del Barbaresco with Chambers Street Wines (Maialino, NYC): Bricking blood ruby. Super deep, stony nose; very classic; bright red cherry; quarry dust. Sweet attack on palate, then dry and lacking a little intensity. Classic cherry and licorice on the medium-length finish. Good, but the nose was the wine.

Rustic, old woody, reminiscent of Nebbiolo's in the Yougoslavian oak, etc. days. Albeit with excellent fruit. Quite rich, but the shortcomings aren't overcome.
