Barbaresco (New York Vintners, NYC): Open 2 hours. Not decanted. Earthy mushroom nose. Fully mature, elegant. Good length. Lovely now, but drink 'em if you got 'em.

In what appeared to be an unsound bottle more than a wine that’s over the hill, the ’85 Pasquero showed madeirized, sweet cherry joined by herbaceous notes, stewed tomato, and soy. Dried red fruit with muddled, old wood notes marred the palate. This finished with a somewhat enjoyable cherry and brown sugar note, but it was ultimately a flawed bottle.

Wow, it seems like it was a bit past prime, but still great. Not necessarily worth the price, but still good. nose was still full with a good boquet of rose/strawberry and earth. good balance but short in length and body.
