April 6, 2023 - Boy, I thought that this was a great wine, although I haven't had very many Barbaresco wines. Similar in weight to a Cali-Coast Pinot Noir, but with a bit more acidity and texture. I'll be bringing my other bottle to Easter dinner, as I can't see this wine maturing much more.

February 21, 2023 - Paleish med ruby. Bright, fresh, elegant, early drinking, feminine. sweet ripe cranberry, cherry but a little thin and not super concentrated. A step up from a Langhe nebbiolo but nothing profound. Pleasing accompaniment to our version of Spanish callos (tripe, pork, chinese sausage, peas, tomato)

January 31, 2023 - Tasted over two days. This drank like a mid-quality Barbera. Tangy red fruits, edgy acids, and whiffs of VA. Not as good as many Langhe Nebbiolo offerings, and woefully underwhelming for Barbaresco.
