Bric Balin Barbaresco Nebbiolo

Very intense and unrelenting structure. Acidity and tannins are still a bit younger than the fruit, which is sweet and pure despite showing some oxidation. Bright cranberries, leather, plum, mint and blood orange. Seriously intense, rustic wine that feels a tad disjointed right now but if stored properly will continue to evolve. Pairing with a hardy veal or braised beef dish would probably flatter this youthful and masculine beast.

Beautifully evolvement, but still tight on the finish. Soaring aromatics, tilting towards dark fruit and hints of bitter chocolate. Needs another few years to fully blossom.

Brick color, loads of sediment. Warm and rich, broad. Old for its years.

Spiny pins on the tongue tight but opens up well

Quite tannic - even after a couple hour decant, could easily use many more years. But this is clearly destined to be very good. Deep dark earth and tar and all that deliciousness. Great with roast chicken in Piedmont.

Quite substantial and meaty, to go along with heaps of fruit and still youthful tannins. Decanting was in order. A perfect example of Nebbiolo, textbook.

Dry, tannins up the ying yang
