Bacon, strawberry, leather. Relatively complex secondary flavors. I could taste flint from this plot throughout the vintages. I would say this wine is rather reserved with short finish. But 2006 vintage that I tried in this winery was not reserved. So, it is possible that this bottle just passed the peak.

No where near the bottle I gushed about in 2014. This wine never emerged from the pruniness of the vintage (perhaps would have shown better if slow O'd). Decently wrought Barbaresco, nothing memorable, on the far side of the slope

By far the best bottle I've ever had from this producer, and better than prior showings. Showed so much of what I love in great barbersco, fine streak of acid, violets and earth, round and harmonious, the earthiness of Barbaresco subtly underneath, just in a perfect place. Unmistakeably Barbaresco expression of fine nebbiolo.

Leather, bacon, flint, strawberry milk, urine, chocolate, tobacco. Very complex aromas, but low acidity with relatively short finish.

If I recall, this might be showing a bit more age than I would have like to have seen. Good not great
