(3h de carafe) Le nez est beau, du menthol, de la réglisse. En bouche, le vin est sérieux, structuré, les tanins ne sont pas trop anguleux, mais il manque d'un poil de confort pour aller plus haut. Sans doute aurait-il gagné en complexité avec cinq ans de bouteille supplémentaire, mais très bien aujourd'hui (avec beaucoup d'air bien sûr)

Tobacco and peat moss mingle with bitter cherry notes. Good depth and texture. The tertiary characteristics are front and center. The nose takes you to the forest on a damp day in the fall. This wine has aged beautifully. Good juice.

Red fruit, tobacco and wild herbs are showcased here in this broad shoulder Barbaresco. The acidity has been tamed. This wine is starting to come in balance. Aromatically as well. It’s better days are still in front of it. Good juice.

No browning. Lovely nose lifted floral rose petal. Nice fruit with quite a structured palate. Well put together. Long palate. Really needs food to balance the tannins though. Lovely wine

Took a good hour to open up. When it did it was really nice. Tight structure, good fruit and fine grained tannins. Still has some life in front of it.
