BTG at lunch. Dark red fruit, flowers. Reduced but blows off to reveal a slate minerality. Not quite clean.

Here I found a shy bouquet of dried strawberry, with dusty cedar, spice box, pepper (which took dominance from time to time), and hints of rose. On the medium-bodied palate, soft textures contrasted by light tannin ushered in a collage of dry red fruits and minerals, as brisk acidity added a mouthwatering freshness. It finished on youthful restraint, with fine tannin saturating the senses along as hints of dried cherry and strawberry lingered long.

Adriano Barbaresco. Pretty but a little on the savory side.

Intense garnet color. Aromas of earth, purple flowers, black licorice and bright red berries. Same bright red berry fruit on the pallet with light hints of leather, bramble and vanilla. Incredibly soft yet still assertive. Quite good.
