  PNP. Needs more time. I should have decanted it for an hour. Will try again in 5 years.

  Medium red. Forward, red fruited aromatics without other Nebbiolo notes. Rounder, fleshier, and simpler than I expect of Barbaresco. Very little finesse. I did not care for this and found the Ferrando much more appealing and exciting.

  Not sure about this one! Color is dark almost bluish red, not entierly clean. Bottle contains some sediment not normally found in a 2010 vintage. Opened, decanted and left in the fridge for a nos hours. Nose is cherry and red berry. The palate is quite confusing revealing the said cherry, blue berries and plum. Fruit is subdued, while acidity and tannins dominates. Another bad bottle? Damaged in transport? I dont know, but im not to happy with this one. Leave the rest and see.

  Pop and pour, dark red almost opaque core. Dark berries and plum, on the palate pretty tough and massive tannins, warm dark fruit and some spices. Low acidity and quite extracted fruit. Alcohol does not disturb even at 14,5% abv.
  
  Not quite sure this is my cup of tea, however Ive never had a barbaresco this young. Served to warm and not airated, just decanted. Leave the remains in the decanter overnight in the fridge to see what happens. Compared to PdB 08 this has a lot less finesse and elegance even if the backbone shows quite a few similarities.
