This is really starting to show its stuff. Wonderfully expressive floral nose. Primary fruit bursting out of the glass after a two hour decant. Leather, cherries, creosote, mint, blood orange. Taught acidity and firm tannins following an almost creamy mouthfeel. Very classic sensibility to this vintage, but with a subtle imprimatur of French oak. I absolutely love great Barbaresco during the 8-10 year stage, and this one is no exception. Class and elegance abound. Lovely wine that I’ll be sure to revisit.

Nice age on this. It opens with a sour but ripe cherry nose with vanilla and other unidentified spice notes. Medium bodied. Finish is a tad too tannic for my buds but well within wine's design.
