Cloudy with a strong earthy, mushroom and floral nose. Coarse and chunky with a medium finish. Notes of licorice, tar, wet damp forest floor and tart red berries. Acidity is there and its a true to form old Barbaresco. Not a lot of this around any more i assume. Interesting to hold these entry level bottles this long to see its evolution. There is more in this bottle to learn than in any book. The evolution of wine is FUN, good or bad its a learning experience.
