October 30, 2020 - I opened this bottle on the same night as the 1998 Barbaresco and they are so reminiscent of each other with their distinctive cedar, black cherry and cola notes. Maybe “cola” is my palate’s “nebbiolo flag”? Color is pale-medium garnet. To my palate, taste echoes the nose and the finish is moderate. This seems like a nice bottle of wine but not a long-aging example. I’d say fine now and for the next five year— no guarantees beyond that.
