January 31, 2016 - The last bottle I had of this was less than stellar. In fact it was down right forgettable. This one? Completely different ballgame. I do not have a ton of experience with the region but if this is not a classic Barbaresco, I might have no desire to find out what that is. A bit of funk on the nose but quite rich on the palate with near perfect balance. This is why those who say to wait on Barbaresco are right. Whoa. thedrunkencyclist.com

February 5, 2011 - Nose of spices and herbs, leather, and licorice. Deep flavors of dark berries, dirt, oak, and solid tannic structure. Smooth mouthfeel and nice finish. ($18)

Extremely dry with high tannins. Tasted with some Boscheta cheese which smoothed out the tannins and brought out a fruity note to the palate.

August 7, 2008 - Excellent Barbaresco. Used to be a Barolo fanatic, however the more Barbaresco I drink, the more I enjoy them. This has some of the classic floral nose with some warm baking spices and ripe red berry fruits, raspberries and red currants. While the palate isn't full blown, it is starting to show some of its feminine side. Elegant dusty tannins still make for a nice mouthfeel with earthy red berries and spice. Excellent acidity throughout. Would be a great food wine.
