  Very well developed and quite tertiary with tannins still present but quite rich and powerful.

  Beautiful out of the gate. Very cloudy and faded edges. Forward nose of leather, dried roses, tar, touch of iodine and red fruit. More open and initially more enjoyable than the 71 Sori Tildin

  2/21/2023 - MC2 Wines Likes this wine:

  Knights of Alba (KOA) BYO Barbaresco Dinner (Legacy Records): Drinking well. It’s a hint cloudy and so there’s a bit of sediment all stirred up in it but also some good vibrancy. Lots of power and structure (perhaps from some of the oak treatments?).

  The bottle and fill were in excellent condition. The cork crumbled considerably and I strained the wine through a tea strainer and gave it a dent decant for a few hours. It was singing when we got to it. The nose was all decaying rose, truffle, earth and leather. There was a sweet, vinous note on the palate and plenty of savoury nuance. It had good build and was rich and heady, with a finish that was expansive and long.
