Intense. Tar and plum and tangy thyme and rosemary. A whiff of band aid. Gorgeous texture and the fruit on the midpalate is exceptional. Long in the finish. Crazy good.

There’s leather and gamey plummy stuff. Soured and distilled. Great purity and a tarry, luscious focus. Still decades ahead but this is serious, quite austere fruit. Wow

Dark fruit, earth but not over powering. Velvety and smooth. Currants and spices. Lasting finish. 1990 giacosa barbaresco riserva

Enjoyed this on my birthday, At Kahill’s, Delta Hotel, on 21 May 2018. Excellent with food; salad, dates, calamari, New York Strip, Filet, and Blueberry Cheesecake. Tanic, but good. Light fruit nose and mouth. Could still age a few more years.
