Drank after open an hour. Tannins are "softer" now, but still VERY present. Low acid. Dark and red fruits are more muted with a hint of tobacco and tar. I would not hold this bottle past this year.

PnP. Fantastically pure nebbiolo. Vibrant and forceful. Quintessential aromas of tar, licorice, cherries, cinnamon and spice that adds a load of complexity and a strong tannic spine which promises continued development. Perhaps I drank this too early but it reveals the magic of the grape in any ways. I was prompted into the 2011 after drinking the 2010 on Friday. Both wines are showing the same in flavor profiles but I think the 2011 is a more age worthy vintage in Barbaresco generally.

Medicinal bright start - cherry tart, red licorice, strawberry jam, dried fruit (raisins) on the finish. Has a bit of Cab Franc attitude. Heat. Medium.

flawed or spent. Dark brick, tasted like a cheap port.

Prêt à boire, un peu fatigué, orangé, bien mais court.
