An awesome Christmas gift a couple years ago from @Joe Lucca and this had me jolly. As with many old wines from Piemonte the nose was wonky on pop. Wet cardboard, dirty socks, potential TCA, but it all blew off pretty quickly. Instead of fading it ascended as the night went on. It settled in to a classic mature well stored Barbaresco. It still possesses ample sweet red fruit, tobacco leaf, balsamic and mushroom. Reports from @romo are that it was even better on day 2.

Beautiful. So elegant and true to form. Like a bouquet of dark flowers, spring fennel pollen and... no other way of describing it... but, tar. Brickish color, med bodied, high acid, med/high tannin. I thoroughly enjoyed this.
