One of the best Barbarescos we've had, just entering it's peak and terrific on all counts. Blind taste would suggest a top cru Barolo, but without so much tar....integrated and perfect with a duck confit at a holiday dinner. So sorry this is the last bottle from our cellar.

Took a long, 3-hr decant before it opened the kimono to expose some pretty cherry, violet and leathery flavors to pair with some pork BBQ loin chops. Fruit emerging nicely, and tannins fairly well-integrated with another 5 years plus to go, but probably at its peak now. Textbook aged Nebbiolo and a super food-friendly, medium finish.

Bouchonnée car bouchon merdique. Pas acceptable pour un vin de cette qualité et prix.

Opened it on April 2016, no doubt that the wine is over the pick.
