August 12, 2016 - This was a disappointment. On the nose and palate this initially has traditional cherry and spice flavors. However, on the palate, there is a spiky, unpleasant characteristic as well. This actually gets worse with air, and acquires an unpleasant flavor I can only describe as resembling the smell of a used birdcage.

We are sure that this must have been a faulty bottle. None of the bottles we tasted so far showed these unpleasant characteristics. In general is an elegant, savoury Barbaresco, with lots of fresh red wild berries, rose wood and tobacco hints. We are sure that the next bottle will be very enjoyable. Thanks for your comments "
