Light red-garnet color to rim. Scents of leather, cola, olive, ripe plum, and undergrowth predominate initially then evolve into more floral elements and roasted cherries. Flavor profile is a sweet version of the bouquet. Modest finish. A feminine, fully mature wine that benefits from food accompaniments. This bottle identical essentially to the last one.

Medium garnet color, phenols coating the glass. Sweet aromas of grilled cherries, cola, leather, and cinnamon that transition with time to roasted plum and blueberries. The flavor profile is not as appealing as the bouquet. A fragrant wine of more modest structure at this point but it works well with foods that are not potently flavored/scented.

Medium garnet. Aromas very developed with dried red cherry, moss and mushroom. Tannins resolved completely, but still intensely flavoured and bright acids, having candied red cherry, moss, mushroom, violets, coffee, and tar. Very complex wine, and lengthy. Nice!

potpourri gathering (JS's): Transparent crimson. Nose roses. Deep. Palate: dark cherries with a striking purity of fruit flavor. as you sit and reflect on it, more herbal notes, a chewy depth to the texture. Deep.

Giacosa's Barbarescos are not good, but not up to his usual standard of excellence.
