Solid classic Barbaresco. Don't expect a rich cocktail wine. Do expect this to fill out very nicely over the next ten years. No doubt this wine will improve significantly.

Impressive nose with roses, cherries, leather and some oil paint but on the palate I did not find it to be in great balance. With some food it was still a very good wine.

Too young still. Beautiful Pinot-like colour and aroma, but thin-tasting in the middle, tannins harsh at only 4 years old. Nice - but will reward aging.

Nose of red fruits, floral notes, rose, violets, herbal/medicinal quality, some VA/nail polish remover. High acid, high tannin, red fruited. Nice bottle of wine.

The wine and a crimson with orange/brown overtones at the edges. Slight dark cherries on the nose, along with slight menthol. Balanced acid, soft tannins, and dark fruit on the palate, with a long finish on the tannins that segues into a hint of menthol. Drank after an hour in the decanter.
