  Decanted and then sampled almost immediately. Gorgeous nose but only in the right glass (Conterno Sensory). On the palate it's pretty much closed up with chalky tannins and not giving up much. Didn't change much after 1 hour. And this is supposed to be one of the more approachable Crus? I'd give it another 3 years minimum. The potential is there but for now NR.

  From 2 bottles, both PnP, followed 5 hours + the next day
  
  Classic Barbaresco nose, the 1st bottle showed sweet strawberry laced with blood orange and balsamic, the 2nd bottle was a bit more restrained with sous bois, blackberry and hints of wild strawberries.
  
  Palate was very smooth, surprisingly integrated tannins and good length for both bottles.
  
  For me, this is ready to drink now, though based on these bottles, they will fare well with several years in the cellar.

  Cherry cola tar heavy on the tannins. Will evolve nicely but needs another 5 years

  Completely infatuated! Needs maaany hours of air to give up its secrets at this point but oh boy does it deliver. Red berries and menthol on the nose. Delicious fruit and a healthy dose of well behaved tannins and a good length. Can only go up from here!
