  Much enjoyed with a pork racy. Soft red cherry nose that takes you into a delicious medium body palate with great balance . This wine is in a fine place now and should give real pleasure for another 1-2 years

  Decanted through Ullo filter. Started off a little slow with a bitterness on the nose and palate. This went away within 5/10 minutes. Ended up smooth and silky with a great sense of place. Near its peak. Drink sooner with a decant.

  Deep purple in color. Lots of freshly turned earth and wet green leaves on the nose. Bit of a cigar taste in the palate. Could have used a decant in retrospect. Very complex mouthful with pepper, sage, dried fruits, some menthol and a hint of strawberry. Still evolving...

  Just ok. Seems to lack the verve I enjoy from Barbaresco. Also, my label looks nothing like the label pic for this wine. The label on my bottles looks like the pic for the normale Socre Barbaresco except it has Roncaglie on the label in red type below the name Socre. I have a few more of these. I hope they show better in the future.

  Cork was in good shape but wine was flat. Not oxidized but missing all depth.
