Barbaresco Nebbiolo
Barbaresco, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
'86 Vintage - a bit past it's prime and somewhat oxidized but showing a beautiful texture and solid acid. Mature notes of dried fruit, leather, smoke. Plus...my birth year!

Surprised by how good this was. Not much experience with 1986, will never fully resolve the tannins, but beautiful fruit, secondary, wonderful Nebbiolo at this level.

Gorgeous stuff. Tobacco, leather, and roses. Softer, more elegant than the 93 riserva from last week.

Roasted a big pork shoulder and went back to ‘86. The fruit is still alive! Sour cherry, cranberry, with prunes under. A little animal and mushroom aging...long floral finish... finally decanted properly and was worth the trouble!

1986 Produttori - much more weight than the 67. More typical black cherry and tar flavors & aromatics. Tannins completely integrated
