Beautifully aromatic nose of fresh cut flowers, especially roses with some lower pitched darker notes from the oak behind it. Tar describes it. Mouth is middle weight. Finish has excellent balance, with more fruit than would have expected from the nose and mouth and excellent tannic grip in the direction of black tea. Not the most complex, but pretty decent complexity and in any event very good and exceeds my expectations.

still fresh after all these years. Vibrant fruit both cherry and dark, great acidity, opens up in glass wonderfully. Tannins are well integrated and soft. Excellent, still had a few years in it but glad I drank it now.

Quite blood red (brown tinged) in the glass. My first thought was a touch worried but Barbaresco is always quite light in colour. Lovely fruit driven Nebbiolo nose, sweet cherry and a touch of violets. Feels mature but maybe it can develop further? Honestly for me why wait- it’s fantastic now. That said, it gathered weight over two days, tannins not even worth mentioning.

A bit rustic this time around but still very enjoyable.

Beautiful with Christmas dinner. Well balanced, but still showing plenty of tannins. Really enjoyable right now, but this has years ....
