Classic floral nose. More candies strawberry/raspberry than tar, but still distinct gravel. Lithe, lucid, elegant on the palate. Rose, then ripe strawberry. Understated acid structure. Long, developing finish.

As always, a terrific old-school barbaresco at a fantastic price. And always a great indicator of vintage quality.

Celebrating Valentine’s Day with takeout from the Canteen. Great Nebbiolo brick color. Currants, leather, tobacco, wet granite, dried fruit, roasted strawberries, brambles. Barbaresco finesse and acids but with a touch of farmy brawniness and Barolo-like heft. From Flatiron Wines. 02/13/21

Light, beautiful fresh cherry on the front. Medium acidity, long finish almost Barolo-ish chewy leather, tobacco, dried fruits.

Nebbiolo is really growing on me – and while I have to work on distinguishing the difference between Barolo and Barbaresco, I’ll keep enjoying these strange & inspiring flavors; over-the-hill rose petals, jam, and incinerating tannins.
