  Dark ruby, blackberry nose. Opened, a little raw and harsh, set aside for on other night. With a night under it's belt, much improved. Dry, bold and fruity, plum stones, some bitter, soft tannins, a little acid but starting to get flabby on the finish. Starts strong and then slide down the scale toward the finish with the bitter becoming more pronounced instead of less. Drink now. Another night and the wine has become more balanced, bitterness has subsided, dry tannins, dusty cherries. This was my last bottle, but if I had more, I would open and leave corked on the counter for three days before drinking. The last glass was the best.

  Medium ruby, ripe berry nose, barnyard dominates. Dry, acidic, dusty berry, leather, medium fruit, light tannins, well aged, green stem tannins on the finish with just barely a hint of bitter. I would drink and not hold.

  Medium ruby, rich barnyard nose. Dry, red berries, tart tannins, full body, sardines, rose hips, smoky stems, roasted meat, sour cherries with a tart finish, hint of bitter mineral. Second night the barnyard has diminished, nice acid/tannin balance with nutty/fruity tart finish. Best to drink now. this really epnded on a good note after three nights. I will give the next bottles an open night before drinking. It improved daily from 87-89 pts.

  this is the 'oldest' Baricci I have had so far. nose: cherry, strawberry, smoke, tobacco, cedar. palate: midweight, silky tanins, vivid acid profile. finish tends to get a bit watery after a while, this is an excellent terroir wine that makes you crave for each new sip.
