2009 not much happening on the nose initially, but opens beautifully after a few minutes. Nice wine with long, balanced finish.

Dark red fruits, aggressive tannins that ease greatly over time. Bright, refreshing.
A great match w Amatriciana. Changed nicely as it was out. By 3 hrs, very gentle.

Young. With decanting it opens nicely and is a good example of barbaresco.

Beautiful expressions of dried violet, roses; Tannins come in to show you the meaning of Nebbiolo.

Transparent maroon, almost more Pinot-ish. Nose of cherry cola, black pepper, eith a touch of cinnamon and vanilla. Integrated and balanced, even this young. And almost light bodied. Dark red fruit, cola, pepper... Exactly as it smells. Tannins really take over on the finish which is long and surprising considering the body. Probably won't open another bottle for at least 5 yrs but this should age well 91
