Bit more raisin than I’d like, which seems to be a thing with 2011 barbaresco? Still delicious with great fruit and acid.

Would have expected more longevity but otherwise a tremendous wine.

No formal notes. See @Pooneet Kant’s review. Italians were delicious but overshadowed.

Many years left but no regrets opening this up now, though it definitely needed air to really show its stuff.

Supple. Tannins fully resolved and, surprisingly, ready to go. Fruit is quite raisinated. Wouldn’t lay this one down. Drink now.
