  This had plenty of earth tones; musty, mud, clay, a little raw meat, old red berries, pot pouri, very aromatic and lovely on the nose. Fairly robust mouthfeel. DD at Cotzen's. I would say 93 pts on the nose. '93 Monfortino was better.

  very attractive acidity structure here - combined with good fruit and attractive nose. Seems quite perfect now.

  12/3/2016 - HowardNZ Likes this wine:

  A long Sunday lunch at Noble Rot (Wellington, NZ): Decanted four hours before tasting. Slightly lighter colour than the Sperss. A beautiful bouquet of cigar, smoke, dark earth, tar and dark fruit, with a floral top note. On palate, complex flavours of tartufi neri, earth, spices, graphite, espresso and tar. More accessible and appealing on the day than the Sperss. The main difference was the acid profile, I loved the prominent acids here (tasting the wine blind Thierry observed that it had "Barbaresco high tone and acidity"). The acids gave more energy and drive to the wine. My WoTD and one of my WoTY. Ideally, I'd still give it another four or five years in the cellar.
