  A great bottle of perfectly aged Barbaresco. And a bargain at that.

  1st night – wine was tight with medium tannic twang. Mild licorice nose. Good fruit + leather but not great. But . . . after 2 days in bottle . . . yes, 2 full days, the wine opened up. Amazing fruit + blast of licorice nose. Wonderful souring fruit + the Nebbiolo leather in the long, long finish.

  This bottle was so much better than my last one, to my relief. The color was a deep ruby. On the nose, layers of florals and spices and dark cherries. On the palate, broad, acidic, nice finish, tannic structure intact although finer grained than the previous bottle.

  The nose was the best part, the aromas of roses and dark fruit. On the palate, mostly tannin, not exciting.
