From Chambers birthday 2020 on 10/8/2023. Lovely, dark luxardo cherry, raisin, licorice knows.  Muscular straight up structure. Nice continuity between nose and palate. — a year ago

At Luca London. Always so alluring and penetrative and unassuming. Silky Luxardo cherries, blood orange peel, hibiscus, soft tannins and menthol. Real stunner the ‘15 and lovely right out of the bottle. — 3 years ago

Popped and poured; consumed over a three hour period. No formal notes. The 2015 Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco pours a deeper garnet color with a translucent core. Medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. No signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is currently bursting with red and dark fruits: blackberries, Luxardo cherry, pomegranate, green herbs, red flowers, green herbs, and tar. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. The notes on the nose are confirmed. The finish is long and savory. Really compelling stuff in the context of the night. I think the 2015’s are drinking so well right now. Unfortunately, this is my last bottle of the “classico” but I’ll be on the hunt for more if I can score at a good price. Drink now if you’re going to allow for some evolution in the glass or enjoy through 2035. — a year ago

Day two: drinking well right now.. black cherry kirsch, tar, clove, and olive. Definitely on the plum meets luxardo cherry end of Barolo. Meaty tannin backbone, with orange peel highlights. Not flashy, just super solid. Drink or hold. — 3 years ago

Always delicious. Notes of boysenberry, raspberry preserves, old leather, Luxardo cherry, & flint. I prefer when the Prisoner vintages present as smoke-bombs rather than juice-bombs, but I’ll take it either way. — 3 years ago
