  Clear, medium tawny. Developed nose with wet leaves, tobacco, roses, black cherry, dried fruits and hints of vanilla and sweet spices. High acidity, medium + body, nice ripe tannins. More dried fruits, black cherry and tobacco. Long aftertaste. Very good and is drinking very nicely now, but will keep a few more years.

  Good dark fruit that opens up right away but keeps opening way past 1.5 hrs. Great tannin grip, not silky, but not rough either. Explosive with the right foods, very good structure. This wine comes quite close to some of the real big $$ Barbarescos at a much lower price.
