Riserva Pora Barbaresco Nebbiolo

Deep garnet color. Quite deep. Araa restrained dried flowers, mushrooms. Red fruits plums and tobacco. Great concentration

The Produttori. Had it at June in PDX. Crazy feminine. Maybe almost too much so, a delicate flower of a wine.

With 2:45 in a decanter the wine is firm, well integrated tannins, with aromas of leather, dried rose, cinnamon. On the mouth there is enough acid and a certain length making this an acceptable wine. I enjoyed this with the quiche appetizer followed by rack of lamb and some cheese though the wine overpowered the soft cheese

90 min decant. Nose is relatively closed right now, tart red berries and asphalt dominate. Beautiful front palate - Strawberry jam, floral notes, plums, wild cherry, and some tar. Super grippy tannins as expected bring in hints of dried branches and warm spice. A touch of umami on the finish is what makes this great. Love to try this in a decade.

Took an hour to open up in a decanter. Turned out amazing but still has a lot of youth left.

See notes for rio sordo above.

So pretty. Expressive nose. Roses, not much forest floor and cherry fruit. Plenty of acidity and a long finish.
