Light red in color with a strong nose.
Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing red fruits with earth, dark chocolates, peppercorn, herbs, light oak and light vegetables.
Nice finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This young Barbaresco from Piedmont needs a few a years in the bottle to mature properly, but already enjoyable, even by itself.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years.
100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged for 2 years in French and Austrian oak barrels.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
$70.

Medium red to orange in color, showing age fairly early in my opinion. Red cherry, eucalyptus, and forest floor on the nose. Medium plus acidity--almost high. 14.5 ABV. Strong tart red cherry forward on the palate. Anise, roses, and some tertiary flavors of dried leaves emerging. Tannins are firm. Young, sorry to wake you up bro.

Lovely aromatics and finesse. Dark fruits, with high toned earth and floral notes, hibiscus/mint tea on the finish. A compelling case for elevage in barrique for evolving wine without imparting overt oak flavors.
