A light bodied but lean Barbaresco. No violet or eucalyptus on the nose, just cherries and spice. It is light but serious, with a layer of acidity on the edge of the cherries and some very fine tannins that are more noticeable on the finish. Enjoyable food wine with plenty of life remaining. It feels young, not disjointed but still a little primary. Will revisit after 25.

Just about ready to drink, better with food for me. Very fine boned and elegant, floral and bright red fruits, very satisfying now but should improve over the short to medium term

I thought I’d open another 2014 Barbaresco ... this is another lovely, lighter bodied Barbaresco, that is approachable - quite early - now ... Pale pinky maroon, you can see your hand through it ... Lifted aromatics, very attractive. Red cherries, strawberries, rose petals, menthol and crushed fresh herbs. In the mouth, a savoury, herbal entry. Savoury and dry across the palate including on the moderately long finish. Red currants, some strawberries, tilled warm soil and blood orange. Below mid weight but with sufficient concentration and volume. Vigorous acids. Satiny tannins. Elegant and refined. Excellent! Drink or hold.
