Sometimes I go thru the slots in my cellar wondering if I did good in saving wines for such a very long time. Once in a while there is a disapointment, but lately the Piëmont wines proved that you should have lots of patiënte. And then the rewards are magestic. Same again with this wine. Firm ruby red color, slightly transparent. Still some cherry fruits, but lots of rozen, some tar, remanisant hints of tanine. Italian acids. And that for a wine I considered lost 10 years ago in dullness years. what a very Nice recovery.

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.

Med ruby. Translucent. High pitched nose of rose petal, kirsch, port. Some heat in the mouth but pleasant over all. Still primary. Needs more time.
