Lighter in body than the 2001 Barbaresco Martinega from Marchesi di Gresy tasted alongside. Much lighter and more translucent ruby color. Light to medium bodied and much higher acidity. Some tannin remaining. Nice plum and cherry fruit. Earthy and minerally. Long finish and a light, dancing texture yet a balanced flavor profile that was great with Veal Milanese. Very different, more traditional that the Barbaresco but both were enjoyable.

The cork is almost saturated. Broke in half as I opened the bottle. Garnet. Watery rim. Black cherry, smoke. Sour, bright almost ccandied cherry palate. High acidity, mild / rounded tannins, medium plus finish. Still a lot of fruit. Better than anticipated because the last couple bottled were corked.

These and other vintages are consistently flawed. Avoid. Not worth it.

Opened up to enjoy with beef tenderloin. unfortunately, this wine was corked.
Underlying structure was nice, but the corkiness was unmistakable.
