Thursday, May 7, 2020 - With Flannery rib cap (which was f'ing amazing) - opened about 15 minutes before serving and poured into Riedel burg stems. Wow. Classic roses and tar, excellent balance and body. Nothing sticking out. Nose and palate both in delightful stages of development for me. This confirms yet again my feeling that the normale from Produttori is a 10 -15 year wine for me, give or take. I have no doubt this will hold for a long time, but I don't think it's going to get more enjoyable to me. Age the crus for 20 years, not this. Started to shut down a bit in the glass and become more firm after an hour of air. Just beautiful right now, especially the nose. A very special wine.

    In this vintage for the producer no cru were bottled. Declassified into this entry level bottling? I forget why *shrug* maybe it can age longer on account of shutting down? Mystery!

    Double checked no crus bottled 2010 at http://www.produttoridelbarbaresco.com/cru_produttori_barbaresco.php

    I only have one bottle and am so fascinated by the expectations. On the fence to age or enjoy. Gotta be good either way.
