  This wine was the best in a blind tasting where the rivals were Braida Bricco dell’Uccellone 2006, Pio Cesare Barbera d’Alba 2008 & Vietti La Crena 2004. The jury consisted wine professionals as well as true enthusiasts.
  
  Color: clear, red tone
  Nose: cherries, light red fruits and sour cream onion
  Taste: juicy berries, licorice, spices with long lasting and balanced taste.

  Sur, nesten eddik. Assosiasjoner til råtne egg. Laaaangt forbi toppen.

  Dark red color. Opened 30 minutes before drinking and aerated. On the first night, an 85. Tobacco, dark fruits & a little oak on the nose and the palate. Tannins weren't integrated or not enough acidity to support the fruit. A drinkable wine but not worth buying again (or not ready to drink!). On the second night (vacu-vin overnight), this wine was much more balanced. No heat on the finish, the tobacco and black fruits were more apparent and the wine seemed more supple. Needs another 6 months or 1 year to show it's stuff. 89-90 on the second night.

  The oak was a little too heavy for me this time. Still lots of nice fruit though.
