A great barbaresco, still closed after 7 hours on a carafe , young on the nose, red cherries, strong tannins, this needs time, atleast 10-15 years.

Aromatics were incredible, but wouldn't give anything up on the palate until 2.5 hours open. Still a baby

Bright and aromatic on the nose, decanted for 3 hrs, could have used 10 more hours. Strawberry, tart cherry, orange (blood), floral, leather, tobacco, not much VA. Could take 10+ more years. Great, not ethereal or amazing.
