Vigneto Castellizzano Barbaresco Nebbiolo

Thought It was time to drink this one and it turns out I was wrong. 5 years ago would have been better. It’s losing some of its berry and floral pleasure to leather and dusty earth, with notes of raisins and dates. Not quite the elegance I had hoped for with dinner, but that’s the way it goes sometimes.

Perhaos something odd with this bottle a bit tinny along with anise and leather and cedar.

Time to drink this one. And this bottle perhaps a bit tired. Leather orange peel and earth.

Good, but not fine barbaresco. Somewhat imbalanced and rustic.

Talk about acidity. Holy cow. Bright redcurrant leather and manure laced mud.

Gamey with charcoal, coffee, and beef fat backbone ... Might be 1-2 years past date

hints of potpourri and red fruit still shining through the earth and leather. lovely

Great wine!!!!!!! The acidity was still so fresh and vibrant. Beautiful dried fruits and herbs.
