  took 30 min to open up
  then became the reason I love barbaresco
  demure cherries with earthy italian backbone
  the winner vs the 2 other 1999 opened tonite

  Annual Pilgrimage to Piedmont - 2019 Edition; 10/17/2019-10/20/2019 (Piedmont, Italy): The quality of this wine was proven as it followed the great 2000 Monfortino ( Papies 98) and held its own very well. Some decanting helps here albeit we did not have the time to do so properly.
  This is now at a great time in its light and the slight more modern style of wine making here helps maintain a good quality of fruit after almost 20yrs something that we find with some Barbaresci lack with age.
  Dark cherry feel, earthy though, well evolved fruit on both nose and palate, touch Burgundian feel but 100% piedmontese. Drinks superbly now and a solid 95

  A perfect wine in perfect age⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
  it became even better after 1 hour in glass, I believe that this wine can be stored a couple of more years without problem , will probably not be better but no panic to drink now..
