Dark color, started out quite tannic but opened up nicely, good fruit with slightly rough tannins, slight dried fruit taste, complex with lots of flavor, lots of sediment so I would decant, drank with Tuscan T-bone steak with baked potato, would drink again but last bottle, a good aged wine.

Slow ox for six hours then double decanted for two. Not a lot of fruit, somewhat dry tannins, rustic and a little hot. That said, when paired with Blue Runner New Orleans-style red beans and rice it was a very nice complement. So, good food wine but not really great on its own. Would recommend drinking up if you have any.

Very similar note to 4 years ago. This is a very dark color, big barbaresco with dark fruits, bramble, tar, sweet and sour cherries. It smooth and easy to drink, but somewhat uncharacteristic for the region.

Really nice, smooth and delicious. Drinking very well right now. Decanted and aerated a couple hours before drinking - no sediment in this bottle.

Dark color, dark fruit, good tannins and acid. Took a day to open up and show its complexity. No age whatsoever apparent, will keep for years!
