A private lunch (Ristorante Piazza Duomo ***, Alba, Italy): Bottle No. 9,054 / 13,333. Wonderful depth and richness, meaty and earthy, spicy, forest floor, floral lift, hint of cocoa, minerally elegance, well managed velvety tannins, orange zest on the enveloping finish, hint of grappa. Long life. Not as refined as the 2016 tasted the day after.

En Feugo! A concentration of fruit, but an underlayment of truffle an dark earth, amazing rich complex but hedonistically just terribly enjoyable. Can go much farther, and I would say this is just right in its youthful phase. So if your holding, start drinking but at a largo pace.

Medium bodied, cinnamon and plums on the palate. Good balance and nice finish. Good wine but not much better than the regular barberesco.

This wine has potential but is tight and highly tannic. Would wait 2-3 years before trying another bottle

A bit of dark tobacco and cherry right off the cork pull. Beautiful acidity, powerful and delicious. So bright, long life ahead.
