Cherry strawberry tobacco

Opened it before the Russian central bank unexpectedly left the interest rate unchanged. Hence a boost to the rating ;) — 2 days ago

Really very nice wine, deep red and brownish color with rhubarb taste and some note of dates for nose and tonghue.
Love it!

De Produttori del Barbaresco Riserva Pora 2016 is een geweldige Italiaanse rode wijn uit de Pora-wijngaard in de Barbaresco-regio, geproduceerd door de gerenommeerde coöperatie Produttori del Barbaresco. Deze wijnmakers wedijveren met de grote namen uit dit gebied.

Kleur: Diep robijnrood met granaatrode reflecties.

Neus: Intense aroma’s van viooltjes en rijpe bessen, vermengd met nuances van luxe hout en specerijen. 

Smaak: In de mond biedt de wijn een medium tot volle body met rijke en brede fruittonen, aardse nuances en rijpe, krachtige maar afgeronde tannines. 

Afdronk: Een lange, aanhoudende afdronk met een evenwichtige structuur en een hint van mineraliteit. — 4 hours ago

From one of my favorite co-ops. I believe they are still the third largest co-op in Europe. Their tasting room sits on the top of the hill in the center of Barbaresco under & to the side of the church with an easy downhill short walk to Gaja.

2019 was a very good vintage in Piedmont.

The nose shows some light smokiness and lightly grilled meats. Dullish fruits of; blackberries, dark cherries, poached strawberries, raspberries with notes of black raspberries. Sandstone, dark earth and dark withering flowers with red roses.

The palate is ripe, juicy and lush. Quite pleasant for a youthful Barbaresco. Blackberries, dark cherries, poached strawberries, black raspberries, raspberries & blueberry hues. Crushed sandstone & limestone, nice mid spice, dry tobacco, tough leatheriness, barrel shavings, soft presence mix of dry & fresh herbs, dry river stone, red cola, brilliant red florals, red & pink roses, excellent acidity with a nicely tensioned, structured, balanced, elegant finish that lasts minutes landing on wood & dry earth.

Another one to cellar 8-10 plus years. — 2 months ago

2017
Great acid, more tanin (rhubarb) than the Asili (2017) of yesterday, complex, fruit, rich taste.
With air getting better and better and softer.
