Enormous flavor, just finished digesting that oak. These wines aren't typical or classic in any way but they can be delicious and satisfying.

Delightful, aged beautifully. Best thing was the wonderful perfumed nose.

A fab Barbaresco @ £104 that’s drinking lovely already but will be fab in a few more years to ease tannins 😉

📍La Spinetta Gallina 2011

🏵 94 points

🍷 Ruby garnet w/ brick edge

👃 Explodes in a Zalto burg glass w/ smokey tobacco mashed cherry, soggy earth, red flower potpourri & sweaty leather w/ spiced blackberry & plum tones

👄 Med body of deluxe creamy earthy cherry, liquorice & slight bitter mocha w/ red berry fruits & a touch of tannin dryness

🎯 Long slight dry earthy mocha cherry liquorice 💥

Ill-balanced. You can tell there are many layers of flavor but they're mostly obscured by heavy oak.
