A little mint on the nose, then licorice as it opens up. Black cherry fruit. Finishes with some briar. High acidity and medium bodied. Amazingly, it paired well with a variety or foods, even steamed shrimp. — 10 days ago

Sweet spot Nebbiolo. Everything in balance. Classic. Cherry, rose, tar. Just enough fruit holding on. Couldn’t ask for much more from the humble produttori. — 6 months ago

Black cherry, spice, leather, cedar and menthol infuse the 2016 Barbaresco Basarin with striking aromatic complexity. Powerful and resonant, with terrific depth, the 2016 has so much to offer. Today, a hint of reduction lingers, but otherwise, the Basarin is very pretty and expressive. The 2016 finishes with real cut and an array of floral notes that add perfume and brightness.

Moccagatta actually. Birth year wine and the wife and I have a challenging year. The bottle open at at first it seemed DOA, but 10 minutes in the glass and it's beauty showed. — 3 years ago
