  Early in drinking window, give this at least an hour of airtime and you will be rewarded. Spicy, with ample fruit and classic crunchy tannins make this a perfect wine to pair with meats and richer foods. Drank over 3 days. Will improve over next 3-5 years.

  lot a tannin, but a bit after 2hrs. Subtle spice and herb. Not as expensive as I was expecting. Try again in 2023

  Fiorenzo Nada Barbaresco Montaribaldi 2013
  Tasted next to the Nada Rombone 2013.
  The Montaribaldi in contrast is darker in all senses of the word, with a stronger licorice note on the nose although the nose was a bit more reticent. On the palate, black fruit, black cherry, sweet licorice, some sweetness, a more masculine style, more full bodied in the mid palate, but after it opened up we got quite a well rounded black fruit and licorice combination with a full bodied mid palate which was quite nice. 90/100

  Color: medium ruby, garnet on the rim
  Nose: vibrant roses and licorice, star anise. Bit of amarena sour cherry. Just a singular depth of crushed petals of dark flowers. Tree bark and wet forest floor
  Palate: structure is towering here. Tannins that play games with more tannins. Acidity is medium-high. Mostly flowers, star anise and balsamic vinegar.
  Finish: very long
  
  I apologize for commiting infanticide here. This needs 10 more years, at which point I would guess a 95 or more. Even then, with vigorous 5 hours of decanting, staggering depth, structure worthy of a gothic cathedral, tannins upon tannins that build a incredible texture. Nebbiolo done with respect. Outstanding
