See previous Delectable note from 78 weeks ago. This is the Montefico not the Ovello. Sour cherry and tarry aromas, also mint. Same descriptors on the palate with a balsamic note. This was my last bottle. I could not see the point of further cellaring time.

As others have mentioned, the Montefico is among the richer Barbaresco's from PdB. The 2017 can age longer than the '15s and '16s. Still tight... better after an hour, but hold if you can. Delicious!

Enjoying the nerve and austerity of this Montefico, there’s plenty of fruit beginning to express a tertiary side, all backed up by the grippy tannin and firm mineral core. Lifted nose, dried orange peel, crushed mint, dried black cherry, peppercorn, earth, some leathery VA.

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.
