Great producer of Barbaresco showing a richness of fruit on the palate, very spicy with floral notes & tobacco

Sottimano Curra Baebaresco 2015. Tawny and ruby coloration with some translucency. On the nose, rose, florals, dark cherry, anise, ripe plum, aged balsamic, chocolate and forest floor. On the palate, some red berries and cherry, but pretty strong and tight tannins. Will revisit after decanting a bit more. It’s been a little over 2 hours at this point. After another hour, cherry, anise, and a finish of same. Tannins are still very present. A bit too tight and acidic for my taste. $90 at B-21.
