Hard to distinguish from a Pinot Noir. Maybe a little earthier. Leather, cassis, pomegranate, hint of tar. — 16 days ago

Nose: blackcurrant, strawberry, licorice, vanilla
Taste: cherries (the Luxardo cocktail cherries), rosemary, msuhrooms, wonderfully umami after the initial sweetness
Light tannins that keep it fun and playful, this wine really opens up in the mouth. — 5 months ago

Popped and poured; consumed over a three hour period. No formal notes. The 2015 Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco pours a deeper garnet color with a translucent core. Medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. No signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is currently bursting with red and dark fruits: blackberries, Luxardo cherry, pomegranate, green herbs, red flowers, green herbs, and tar. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. The notes on the nose are confirmed. The finish is long and savory. Really compelling stuff in the context of the night. I think the 2015’s are drinking so well right now. Unfortunately, this is my last bottle of the “classico” but I’ll be on the hunt for more if I can score at a good price. Drink now if you’re going to allow for some evolution in the glass or enjoy through 2035. — 3 years ago

Love the only color in the glass. Subdued jammy black fruit on the nose. Very fruit forward including dried fruit like fig and dark cherry. Enjoying with mushroom ravioli with sweet Italian sausage cream. Yum. Will buy more if Costco still carrying. Buy this wine and drink now — a month ago

I’m biased. Tart red fruit, faint vanilla, leather, young finish — 9 months ago

White cherry on the nose, apricot skin, grapefruit pith, lots of minerality and savory notes on the palette, acidic and tannic but we'll balanced - lots of character — 4 years ago

Always delicious. Notes of boysenberry, raspberry preserves, old leather, Luxardo cherry, & flint. I prefer when the Prisoner vintages present as smoke-bombs rather than juice-bombs, but I’ll take it either way. — 4 years ago

I kinda liked this one. Very Luxardo cherry on the nose... The palate offers this along with herbal, tobacco, beef jerky, and dry kirsch... Though we enjoyed this one at a Greek restaurant paired with lamb, I can't help but think about what other foods this might pair with... When we see Greek wine, we always think Greek food, but here I don't know if that's the obvious choice. I thought BBQ, but here I might even suggest turkey dinner may be a nice pairing. — 5 years ago

Really enjoyed this one. Took a bit to open up, but worth the wait. Burgandy-like but with less restraint and that lovely volcanic earth. Would definitely buy again. — a month ago
