1970 was apparently an off vintage for Barbaresco but there is so much joy in trying something that proves the approach of producer before vintage. This is ripe, faded raspberries, earth, leather, and walnuts. It's holding up well, but without improvement from here. A privilege to try.

A rare opportunity to drink from this producer and vintage, but a real pity that it has oxidized.
