Something floral, cherry, black tea. Boiled sweets. Medium bodied, still some tannin. Gained weight after being open a few hours, was initially red fruited and noticeably alcoholic, became more savoury and rounded. Barely any orange colour at the rim, youthful appearance and taste. Excellent well balanced mature Barbaresco.

Decanted about 4 hours before drinking. I found the aromas to be a bit roasty, muddled. Cleaner and more articulate on the palate, but overall not a great version of this wine.

Awful cork taint that only marginally blew away after 24 hours.
