Opened about 2hrs before dinner, plenty of floral aromas, leather and cherry. Dry and the tannins have smoothed since the previous bottle last year but are definitely still there. Nice easy Barbaresco for the price.

Open for an hour then decanted, a bit of alcohol on the nose suggesting it could age longer, with roses and pine (sappy) notes. quite a bit of tannin showing, and fairly dry. Flavours of dark cherry and licorice, with dark berries. Great for the price, and should age well over the next few years.

Better on the second day (24 hours decanting in the bottle), but still not very good.

Dry and tart on first taste, it mellowed during the meal of BBQ pork chops. Very good value.
