Pretty, pale color and obvious Nebbiolo character - will never be profound, but nonetheless way too young - pleasant and light, but sharply tart, even after a 2-hour decant - check back in three years

Light red color on the decant, almost crimson like cherry color. Refreshing, light hearted Barbaresco that went well with our veal dish and pasta with mushrooms in creamy butter sauce. There's nothing here that makes you say "wow" but at the same time it was a delightful drinking wine, nice acidity, with hints of tart strawberry and tart red raspberry with light oak. I found this wine atypical of other Barbaresco, in a class of its own. Good QPR from WineSlash in my opinion. I have a couple more bottles, interested to see how this might evolve.

Light body, clear, color was light. Soft tannins, easy drinking, suttle cherry and other berry flavors. Nice, different than most wines I drink. Similar to coastal Pinot.

Very nice bottle, some additional age would not be unwarranted but it's drinking well at the moment. Some complexity, subtle nose that develops with some air. A decant for an hour would not be ill advised. I would estimate it'll live nicely for another 10 years, perhaps more.

Great nose, pretty light but very balanced, cherries, soft tannins
Finishes easy, very drinkable right now
