  Beautiful representation of barbaresco. Still very fresh, clear color with good tint. Somewhat quiet on the nose initially but overtime opening up to very good cherry fruit, rose, perfume notes, orange peel, sweet herbs. Palate certainly shows some stone and rusticness. But with time fruit comes through And the complexity is there. More stone and black earth. Very smooth. Well
  Integrated.

  Perfekt kork, minimalt gjennomtrukket. Lyserød, purpur farge, liten antydning til mursteinsfarge, og fremstår som lite utviklet. Det samme bekreftes på duft. Et mørkt slør av moreller stiger opp av glasset, kombinert med lett tjære og hint av tørkede røde roser. Null balsamico, eller volatile aromaer. I munn så er dette lettbent samtidig som du møter en tight vegg av de samme mørke morellene som på duft, og ispedd en pudderaktig tanninstruktur. En barbaresco av den gamle skolen som sikkert hadde tålt ti år til. Men hvem vet, dette var min eneste flaske som i sin tid ble kjøpt inn på studentbudsjett. 93 poeng.

  Had this in San Gimignano in a wine store on a Monday afternoon. Decanted for 30 mins, definitely not enough...The wine had a lot of prunes in the nose and palate with some cherries, tobacco and fat, made in a meaty style. Still very tannic and young. The wine had a lot of potential as it released more power and flavor with more aeration. The after taste had tea and plum flavors, similar to the 97 giacosa barolo I had couple weeks ago. Give it 5-10 more years. The kind of wine Kingyan would appreciate.

  Holiday dinner with Washington DC Winos (Ripple Restaurant in Washington D.C.): Of the three Italian wines, I found this to be quite good, but the least interesting at this stage. While it conveyed red fruit aromatics, and medium flavor intensity of blackberry and cherry and spice, it came across as slightly closed in and tannic, even more so than the 1996. I would hold off for a few years before opening this one. Again, maybe I did not give it enough time in glass to properly appreciate.
