Cavey's, last night before the sale. $40, billed wrong? Some varietal browning. GREAT floral nose.Serious tannin not out of balnce with some goot neb. fruit. Give it at least a couple of hours of air or 5 years.Will get better.

Wouldn't have guessed this to be a Barbaresco if I were tasting this blind. Big difference from the Sori. Lots of fruit and terroir on the snout with this wine. Very drinkable right now. Still, I'd recommend decanting to get it to open up. I did and got some really nice fruit as a result. I'm not that good at picking out things like "black currants grown on a southern exposure and minerality from the Middle Paleolithic period".

Very nice Barbaresco. Great nose and rich, layered flavors.

Tighter than a banjo string. Gotta learn to wait.
