  This bottle may be as good as the one we opened in 2021, but perhaps a tad less outstanding. In any case, the nose and the palate are both delightful along the same dimensions as my notes of 2021. It still has legs, though this is my last one.

  Well this is a Premier Cru (the store/ponzi scheme) bottle that i actually received so it has that going for it.
  
  This doesn’t really feel like a Barbaresco to me. I guess there is good acid but there’s also just a hulking wall of tannin that’s still a solid brick smashing your tongue even 13 years on and with two days open. Once that finally resolves there is some good herbs and toast and maybe black cherries. And tar. Overall over extracted? Aroma is a touch alcoholic to me too. So I guess what I’m saying is I think it needs time but also it’s not my style. Yet I do have another bottle so note to self try around 2030.

  Solid, well balanced, tasty berry notes on top of earthy/savory core. Seemed to be in a nice phase. Good QPR too.

  While clearly Nebbiolo, it lacked the finesse and delicacy that I expected and in fact tasted overly toasted or oaked. Not my style at all.

  Röda bär och dito rosor. Tillräcklig kraft för att stå upp mot nyårsmiddagens kryddiga spjäll och brisket men nog inte optimalt sällskap.
