Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Wednesday, January 2, 2019 - Dinner at Osteria taStè, Barbaresco: Browning colour. A bouquet of orange peel and lemon, mushrooms, peaty earth, lots of old leather and dried redcurrants and plums. On palate, the fruit had slipped a little, over-exposing the acidity. This bottle beginning its downward slide from its drinking plateau, but nonetheless enjoyable as a mature, savoury Barbaresco. No longer showing the vivid red fruit of a typical younger Rabajà, here it was fig, old leather, black truffle, porcini, dried herbs, earth and dried red fruit. “More Barolo than Barbaresco”, said Jeffrey. Again, it showed at its best with my Tajarin. Drink soon.
