  The last of 3 bottles and my favorite. Medium garnet but almost opaque, medium expressive nose has rose, red fruit. The body still has plenty of acidity, well balanced against persistent tannins ( given the age) showing cherry, anise, stone flavors with a medium long finish. Went well with pasta with blue fin tuna cooked with capers and shallots. Great value but had to be patient

  This wine is medium garnet colored with some bricking. There are some rose elements and perfume diffusing from the headspace. Across the palate there's plenty of acidity with spicy cherry, cranberry, and anise flavors. The body is on the lean side, but the wine's intensity is strong. The finish is crisp and persistent. The tannins are still aggressive which makes the wine somewhat harsh overall.

  Opened 3-1/2hrs b4 dinner. Finding it mostly placid & open further slow-oxed in 2 Burg glasses & btl. Semi opaque ruby red. Rose petal & berry aromas. Dark cherry - raspberry fruit, mineral, earth & licorice on a mostly resolved & elegant but energetic palate. This is in a great place but God knows how long this humble Barbaresco will go? At least 5-10yrs more? I love it & wish I had more '07s. Alc 14% A steal at $23 in 2011 near release. If I see more 07s or earlier, I'm grabbing them. I'd go more recent vintages too accept these seem ot need 10+ to resolve their structure & I'd be 75-80 when they're ready :). Loved this tonight! 93+

  This is in a good place right now. The nose is tinged with star anise, shoe leather and kirsch notes. Elegant and smooth, light- to medium-bodied, with mild, seamless tannins. Pinot-like, this is an ethereal wine that barely stained the cork and is brimming with wild strawberry flavors that really blossom with ~1h of air.

  This was a recent auction purchase so I never tried it in its youth, but I can say that it is drinking very well right now. Lovely red-fruited nose of wild strawberry, raspberry and bing cherry. Pleasantly tart, with a bit of tannic bite and a nice floral quality and some herbal and tar notes. Very good value here.
