Lovely wine. Splash decanted back to bottle and followed for an evening.
Classic nose. Roses, light cherry, hint of tar, very very slight oak presence. Palate is medium body with large, structured tannins and supporting acidity. True red cherry intermingled with some darker fruit, herbal stem, scorched earthy minerals. Finish is all structure. Big gum-drying tannins, red roses slathered over dusty rocks, hint of cedar.
$30 from Costco and what a classic expression of nebbiolo. Maybe not the most complex or deep but should unfurl nicely over the next 5-8 years. 90-91

Very well done traditional Barbaresco. Very refined, silky mouthfeel.
