Well this blew me away. Bright transparent garnet. Highly aromatic. Really superbly polished complex aromas, yes you get florality and cherry all the rest of it but it just comes across as its own perfectly knit whole. Glossy and liqueur like. A bit sharp on opening perhaps but that's what you'd expect. Hard to resist now although I expect it would get even better.

Light garnet with some bricking on the edges. Fragrant roses and oak in the nose. Medium tannins. Leather, tar, roses, strawberries all meld beautifully in the flavors. Served with Osso Buco and a porcini risotto. Very pleasant wine. Long well balanced finish.

Pretty good, but not extraordinary. Certainly not worth the price. Pretty typical Barbaresco with light color but heavy tannin. Straightforward fruit, but dominated by oak. Should be more of a $25 wine.

24 hour slow ox, gave plenty of air and swirling with each glass
A lean, medium body Barbaresco. Reticent on the nose currently. Very pretty strawberry and cherry flavors on the palate. This has good persistence and focus, and a satisfying finish.
This is young but with enough air it's approachable, as the tannins are very fine grained.

What a wine! Complex nose with forest floor, red currants, cedar wood. Great balance, amazing cherry and strawberry flavors - still primary but fantastic already. Medium tannins, alcohol just right, spice and cedar wood on the nice ending. Wow! This will be great. Drink from 2025-2030.

Med garnet in color, medium acidity Aromas of red fruit, cranberry, eucalyptus, baking spice, and floral notes Raspberry, red cherry on the palate. Notes of licorice giving way to vanilla and grippy tannins with lingering spice.
Still fairly concentrated, hoping to get a few more bottles as I’m excited to see how it ages.

Very floral nose, with ripe cherries and silky mouth feel. Tannins are fully integrated and lovely. Drinking well now.

Stellar wine, very elegant and well balanced. As expected, took a couple of hours to open up.
