Friday, October 4, 2019 - Here I found an earthy bouquet, showing crushed black cherry and dark florals, as lifting minerals and dusty soil tones evolved in the glass. On the palate, I found soft textures, as fleshy ripe cherry fruit was offset by peppery spice and saline-minerals. The finish was long, displaying tart cherry, cranberry and spice as grippy tannins slowly saturated the senses. Claudia has always referred to Vie Erte as being a Barbaresco that’s easier to enjoy in it’s youth, yet the 2016 looks to be built for the cellar.
