Riserva Montestefano Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2009
Originally, I only planned to pour the De Forville, the Roccalini and the Paitin but it just didn't seem right to host a Barbaresco class and not have a Produttori in the mix. So, I pulled this from the cellar as a bonus. Boy, am I glad I did. On the pop and pour, this had a striking burnt rubber smell; like from a pencil eraser. This blew off after a few minutes however and became sensational with the most perfect expression of Montmorency cherries, tar, and crushed rock. The 2009 Produttori "Montestefano" is so balanced and yet incredibly powerful. It also remains powerfully tannic. The finish is remarkably long; lasting well over two minutes. This is still very primary and would benefit for continued cellar time. Wow...I love this wine. This will drink well for decades to come. Bottle No. 12202. Bravo! — 5 years ago

May or may not have cost $78. (Joke won’t age well). Quite a bit detectable brett funk here, but still tasty. — 7 months ago

Rabajà Barbaresco Nebbiolo 1985
A bit past it’s prime but still very nice. Double decanted. It evolved quite a bit over time. Earth and balsamic at first, then heavy tar, rich dark fruit followed. — 4 years ago

A lot less tannic than the Barbs I’ve had of similar age - my guess was 2015 - but still rough around the edges — a month ago
