April 1, 2015 - Is 2010 Barolo over yet? Moving on to 2011 Barbaresco now. This one is great, exactly what Barbaresco should be - same great taste, less annoying tannins. It almost feels silky, except for the fact that the tannins are actually pretty screechy, though they're still constrained enough that the pretty red fruit is in the foreground (and very pure, too, with an inky saturation). I think the fabric here is ultimately very elegant and supple, even if at this young age those classic nebbiolo tannins are leaving it a bit starched. That seems confirmed in the leftovers the next day, which are much softer with the fruit intensity undiminished.
