  Amazing wine. While of course still young, the magic of the red label from the master in ‘07 was in full form tonight wafting a captivating bouquet of Christmas spices, rose pedals, licorice, worn leather and a menthol freshness. A stunning perfume. The palate shows incredible richness and density yet without weight nor heat, and the most luxurious of textures that wraps around the mouth before its multi-minute finish. Wow.

  Beautiful Giacosa that shows the perfect mix and elegance and power. Palate is deep and penetrating. It clearly benefits from an hour plus of decanting. It is rounder and fuller the 07 Barbaresco Riserva. 95+

  Second time with this wine, similar notes. This is just so pretty and delicious! Just make sure you give it a few hours of air to breathe if you open it up anytime soon.

  Initial whiff of cork on this which made my heart sink.
  On the nose, super elegant, Barolo tar, mint, minerals. With a bit of air gorgeous strawberry and cherry notes start to emerge. Then minerals. Eventually, violets. If this is corked it’s the most marginal case I’ve ever experienced. The aromatics are gorgeous.
  On the palate again, elegance, intensity without breadth, all the elements in balance. Do I detect a cardboard hint (scary face emoji) or is that a nice toasty note?
