Jul 19th, 2022Ruby red in colour. Not giving much initially on the nose after decanting. Notes of menthol, light Cherry, and balsamic notes. Almost devoid of fruit but has a delicious savouriness with a skinnsy note on nose and palate. Fine dry, tarry and persistent tannins and remains an excellent Barbaresco travelling well at 10 years of age.
