  Nose with ripe red berries, some dried or candied berries, roses, a bit of chocolate, some warm earth and other hints of developed notes. Medium body, red berries with hints of dark berries, a bit of dried berries, some spices, a bit of alcoholic bite, fine mineral notes, still some tannins with some "dry edges" to them, aftertaste with berries and tannins. (Still) drinks well now, but unlikely to improve further and more likely to start declining. 90 pts.
  
  This is a serious wine for a "plain" Barbaresco. I'd say that it shows some modern style, but not in an exaggerated way at this developed stage, and that the palate of this bottle showed more development (and "drying" character) than the nose. The mineral notes is one of its definite plusses.

  Needs decanting. 2 or 3 hours. Old school. Very good after decanting. Ripe and fresh.

  I would like to say it's my huge surprise by a basic level barbaresco. Strong oak aroma upfront. Modern style. Very strong fresh rose petal aroma kept penetrating my mouth thru drinking, with good balance of oak aroma. Very powerful and with long memorable aftertaste. Slightly chocolate hint at finish. Drink smoothly now.

  Huge nose of blackberry. Medium body with smooth texture and intense flavors of berry and graphite. Great structure to balance the fruit. Long finish of intense fruit, silky tannins and ample acidity. This wine has come a long way in the last couple years.

  Mature. Strong tannins and structure. Complex, acid. Very good with food.
