Tightky wound. Lavender, anise, hard cherry candy, herbs. The texture and quality of tannin are really impressive. Very long detailed finish. This is a baby but phenomenal with 3 hours of air.

Nothing like drinking a library vintage at the winery! Classic Barbaresco all around and in its prime drinking window.

Incredible Montefico. Power and grace in one wine. Gorgeous, layered nose that reflected right back on the palate. Mesmerizing.

Another crusher! Big wine. A lot of front end action that pops into the dry cherry finish. Very very good.

We had the 2008 Montestafano on 8/30/15. Just a wonderful Barbaresco. Silky texture. Raspberry and some leather in a medium bodied wine with a smooth finish. Tannins smoothed out with an hour of air time.

Wonderful bouquet. Well weighted palate. Black olive, tapenade, bitter blackberry. Relatively soft tannin. Nice finish. Good wine but just a baby! 92+
