Great wine and perfectly aged. I was surprised by the previous comments that the wine was over the top. Maybe that was due to cellaring or transport; our wine was in great shape... and a Barbaresco should easily make 13 years! A great Nebbiolo is a feast. Hints of liquorice and laurel, and still freshness after all these years. No rush for the remaining bottles in our cellar...

Guess this is past peak. None of the six bottles I bought about a year ago was as good as the one I tasted at the winery. Back then I would have rated it about 88/89. Bad luck it has already been in decline.

Lean and tannic on day one (even thought it was flawed and was prepared to dump the rest of the bottle); however, on day two some nice flavors emerged; obviously needed a lot of air and time.
