  Notes as per my tasting note of 13/9/21. A sexy Barbaresco that drinks beautifully now, layered textural experience, attractive perfume.

  Xmas Wimps 2022 (La Trompette): Served from magnum. Definitely a wine I comprehend better - starting to get a little secondary, some marzipan, fruit still there and good structure. Will the fruit be outpaced by the tannin as it ages? Hard to say but drinking lovely now.

  The First Christmas of New England @ Christmas WIMPS 2022 (La Trompette, Chiswick): A generous sample from another table at Christmas WIMPS. This as a black cardamom, tar and molasses nose. Also some clove-studded blood orange and some candy floss. Palate an intriguing mix of blackcurrant pastille, gazpacho and rosehip tea. Lovely.

  The First Christmas of New England @ Christmas WIMPS (La Trompette, London W4): En magnum. Nose seemed quite muted. Medium bodied with silky tannins, the acidity was immediately apparent, delicious cherry fruit with good persistence and length. Whilst the acidity suggests that the wine will age for decades, I am not sure if the fruit will keep up. In a good spot and a real treat to try.

  double decanted, which may not have been necessary as there was no discernible sediment. A bit of funk at first taste, it became better balanced with more fruit at about three of four hours open. 90ish pts
