Cascina Luisin
Paolin Barbaresco Nebbiolo
Barbaresco, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
This is like a barrel sample. So tight. Nose is not that friendly. You can smell the tannins, with their bitterish dried leafy signature. Some cherry fruit underneath. In the mouth, it’s more open than the nose foreshadows. Rich mineral-infused cherry fruit is there, but surrounded by stern tannic scaffolding. Nice acid balance. Needs some time, but very good.

Really enjoyable wine. Cherry and plum. Good tannins; will probably age well. Drank with left over Christmas pork tenderloin with fig sauce and au jus. Really enjoyed long finish. Due to young age mouthfeel was a little light, but should improve with them.

Menthol, herbs, floral, licorice, anise, chewy tannins. Just great.
