Showing some alcohol and lots of fruit but still mostly in balance and easy to drink.

This is spectacular and built for the future. Needs a 2 hr decant, but once it has breathed it punches you square in the face with strawberry compote, earl grey tea, earth, and dusty fine tannin. Exceptional balance. Integrated. In 10 yrs this will be monumental.

The alcohol is still too present, but the lovely black licorice and floral elements are enough to already make this a great Barbaresco. In a couple of years it should balance out perfectly.
