Silky and ready ... fig, anise, a touch of pine tar, black currants. Drink it now with a pork chop.

Really a lovely barbaresco especially with some air and a slight chill. In a prime window - some of the strong primary notes have faded somewhat, but there is still a ton of freshness, acid, and tannin here to keep things alive. Lots of complex red fruit aromas. One of those wines you could just keep smelling. Palate delivers the same way. Really nice.

Aug 30th, 2025Last had 2 years ago and that bottle was probably off. But this still is below expectations. Lovely aromatic nose - but the palate is exceedingly thin and I would have guessed it’s much older than 10 years. Some disjointed tannins. Hmmm. Have a few bottles left - maybe wait several more years and take a flyer.

Overall good flavor. Developed nicely over a few hours.

Aug 3rd, 2022Deeply disappointing. Maybe an off bottle? Quite thin and basically tasteless / characterless.

Very tasty, elegant, floral, refined tannin. Still a little young- could hold this vintage longer.
