  Medium ruby a bit hazy, closed at the beggining, it took one full hour to open up on both palate and nose. Earthy, dark cherry, violets aromas, medium intensity, explodes on the palate with firm tannins and great balance from acidity. Medium long finish, very rich on the palate with dark cherries, tar, earthy notes. Very nice. I was afraid this would be gone, but it's drinking so well right now, and maybe for couple more years

  This was a sneaky little mo-fo... The nose indicated it might have been past it's prime, but after an hour it was a totally different wine. An amazing bottle from a hot vintage and still has some left in it.

  Some stock, tar and red berries on the nose. Delitare, pure and dry. This bottle is slightly over the top (ref. the stock on the nose), but has certainly some qualities.

  Spectacular Barbaresco. Generally agree with everything the community has to say about it. Bouquet fills the room. Really needs some good food on the side. The tannins are still quite present. Probably still has a number of fine years ahead.
