20.02.2012: Drinking 1999 Château Lafite Rothschild. Beutiful, harmonic, tons of classical Bordeaux tastes. Still rough and will develop. 20 years to young. Keep. To early to say what score it will have when mature, but looks promising

90 points for a Barbera is a seldom score, and had never thaught this rough rockandroll taste package would develop into a smooth, balanced complex wine with tobacco, spice and earth into integrated dark fruit tones. If you want to drink it now, you have to air it for hours, because this monster Barbera is still hiding and developing. Giacomo really impresses me. Like no other Barbera tasted.

Not a big wine. Neither rich or complex.
