Otroligt elegant på näsan med underbyggd tryck av mörk frukt. Domineras av rosor, tobak och mörka körsbär.
M: väl sammansatt vin med det mesta på plats i min smak av vad jag förväntar mig av en Barbaresco. Sammetslena tanniner, komplexa smaker av det som återfanns på näsan med tillägg granatäpplen. Lång och trevlig finish.
92-94p i min bok trots vad det sägs varit ett ganska bråkigt år. Flaskan var inköpt på plats ifjol på vingården. Dracks till pizza och charkuterier

Given notes below this was opened 24 hours early and I’d say that was only just enough air. There was a good touch of Brett on the nose that slightly impaired my enjoyment but for others this was the pick of the bottles at lunch. It has some secondary development and had a depth and richness within its structure. Plenty of asili power and overall an excellent bottle with great value for its price point.

Drank too early... nose somewhat pinewood, chemical... rough palate, high alcohol. Became better in time while aired... big potential! to keep 3 more years for sure...

Semi opaque ruby red w/ light bricking on the edge. Slow-oxed in 2 Burg glasses & btl for 3-1/2hrs prior to dinner. There's still some structure to meld and its a bit reticent to fully bloom. Enjoyed it but I can see holding off on my next till 2026+ Very Barolo like at the moment & not showing any of the silky finesse you get from a Giacosa edition. I think it simply needs more time but reasonably enjoyable tonight with beef stew.
