Garnet ruby core , garnet terracotta rim . Spiced dried cherry , some sous bois , old wood , black tea , leather , tobacco , liquorice . On the palate more fruit , with red cherry , strawberry and raspberry notes , herbal touches , still quite good mouth feel , good density . Sweet tannin and lively acidity . Sour cherry tinged , herbal finish . Still showing well , surprisingly so, only starting to fall apart after more than an hour in the glass . Drink now and over the next few years . — a month ago

N: Iron, sanguine, cherries, strawberries, bark, the forest.
P: Much much better than I thought it might be. Rainier cherries, bright acids, linear, medium weight body, nice slightly grippy finish.
Did this a disservice with a PnP before burgers…but wow.
Unfurling should be great.
Turns out, this is Starderi fruit.
As it airs, tar and rose come fore, more grip.

Truncated notes from our family Biden election celebration. Intense nose has hazelnut/hickory nut notes, date/golden raisin fruit, length than reverberates endlessly. Wo-wo-wee-wo, as Borat would say. — 4 years ago

ビンテージが切り替わったので、チェック。
カルレオーネの19が固い印象だったので、気になって飲んでみたが、エレガント。
紅茶やタバコ、チェリーっぽい酸とミネラル感。
ただ、少し水っぽさというか、酒躯の密度が緩いのが気がした…それでも美味しいワイン。
やっぱりブルゴーニュグラスがいいね。 — a year ago

This is precise and nicely done for a bargain-priced Barbaresco. Nose, with air, shows very pure dark cherry fruit, a bit of rose petal, smoky crushed rock and gravel, and some spice notes. It’s concentrated, chiseled, and fairly full in the mouth. Loads of dried cherry and stone flavors. Significant but soft tannin, and good acids. Enjoyable now but will likely get better over the next several years. — 2 years ago
