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!

Cherry pit. Tannic, tart, young. Not approachable right now.

Red floral nose. Red apple skins. Strawberry jello mix. Lots of acidity. Subdued tannins.

Bright cherry fruit, tannic, and deliciously long finish.

플로랄. 끝에 남는 강한 탄닌. 오래 열어둬야 할듯. 하루가 지나고 먹으니 좀 별로. 여전히 탄닌이 꽤 느껴짐. 너무 빨리 열어버린듯
