Cabage, pugnant acids. Does not do it.

Excellent. Would pair with braised lamb.

Rosso granato, profumi intensi di marasca, viola, sottobosco e vaniglia. In bocca è morbido, vellutato e persistente, con una buona acidità e ancora diversi anni davanti.

Light ruby almost pinot noir color; dusty mystic nose of red ripe fruit and a delicate perfume of honeysuckle; rather flat mouth-feel, tannic, unbalanced, lacks fruit but not acid and alcohol; extremely disappointing. Ok, so it only aired in decanter for 20 min. Will give it another chance in an hour: some charcuteries appeared on the nose but it didn't impact my first impression.

No notes as it's a pizza oven evening at friends but man this is probably too good for the dish. Cherry, leather, almonds on the nose. The palate is very well designed with, as expected great, pointy tannins, that settle down when confronted with food. The finish is long and great. Definitely my stuff...

Выпито третьим вином в тот же день. Тоже неплохо . Но это барбареско 2015 года на фоне своих великих предшествует, выпитых ранее как- то потерялось…
