Consistent with prior note but extra aging has improved and balanced out this wine. "Outstanding QPR under 25$. Cannot go wrong with a Barbaresco at this price point. More approachable now than other young higher end Barbarescos but I believe some age will do it good. Spice, Black Cherry, Earth. Medium finish. Nice Tannins."

Sans être d'une grande complexité, ni très persistant, ce Barbaresco se boit très bien dans le moment. Plutôt élégant au nez et en bouche. Celle-ci est peu tannique, peut-être un peu moins acidulée que ce à quoi on s'attend. Digeste et laisse une impression nette et agréable. Excellent RQP. Me fait regretter d'en avoir acheté une seule bouteille... À boire dans les 5 prochaines années.

WA90, Due bicchieri. En le versant, on découvre une robe grenat pourprée. Dans le verre, c'est grenat assez clair. Nez sur la fraicheur: petite cerise, feuilles d'automne, pot pourri, fleurs séchées. Vanille, cuirette. Bouche délicate et élégante sans être terriblement complexe ni longue. Acidité retenue, tannins fins. Un peu huileux. ***1/2 - super RQP (22$)

Robe claire et duveteuse rappelant celle d'un pinot noir. Léger disque orangé. Bouquet plutôt jeune, légère astringence, fruits rouges. En bouche notes de fraise, groseille, poivre vert. Acidité medium+, alcool+. Dégusté en bonne compagnie, très apprécié, à réessayer dans quelques années!

Decanted for about 6 hours. Sour cherries and powerful tannins. Some tar and a little bit of floral characteristics. Classic nebbiolo flavours but leaning towards the masculine side of the nebbiolo spectrum. Needs time to sleep. Excellent QPR.

Nose: Savory and elegant with red cherries, roasted herbs, red florals, earth notes, and some black truffles.
Taste: Medium bodied with medium/high acidity and youthful tannins. The structure emerges more with air, but there are lovely tones of red cherries, roasted herbs, red florals, and some black truffles.
Overall: I'd love to see what this develops into with 5-7 years. There is a bit of flesh on the fruit right now, but I can see this really filling out with some age. It's extremely well balanced and has excellent depth for a base barbaresco.

Time in the glass was needed for the 2010 Barbaresco to begin showing its beautiful mix of tart red fruits, with sour floral tones, and animal musk. On the palate, it was youthful, yet none-the-less enjoyable with juicy textures to its dark red fruit, cinnamon spice and herbal notes. The finish was youthfully structured with red berry, yet promised good things to come.

Holding up well. Still plenty of fruit. Tannins are still present but well integrated.

Classic nebbiolo on nose and palate. Smooth and long, but demanding food to really sing. Drink from now and 2-3 years.

Tart and sour cherry/strawberry. High acid, youthful wine. Needs a few more years to hit its prime.

Vin avec des nuances de cuir sur des tannins serrés. Longeur moyenne pour ce barbaresco d'entrée de gamme.

Flaw - Opened with a whole lot of egg and sulfur, I took it back and got another from another store, it opened with the same funk, went back as well.
Disappointed, was looking forward to this.
