This dandy, delicious nebbiolo pours very pale garnet-brick. The nose is nicely lifted and fragrant with smoke...

Open, perfumed, savoury, classically styled nebbiolo here; the palate is firm and dusty, with red and black licorice,...

Medium weight, nice length and long finish. Garnet colour, cigar box, dried cherry, smooth and enjoyable.

It's only wine but I like it
It's only wine but I like it

Re-tasted July 2017.
A further (nearly) 4 years of ageing has softened this wine, but still enough structure to hold a bit more. Taking on some more interesting nuances (dried fruit, faded roses). Really interesting mature Barbaresco. Upped score a point to 91.

A slightly more approachable Barbaresco than the norm. Nicely fragant. this is a medium-bodied red, with red fruit, firm (but not astringent) tannin and a long finish with a hint of pleasant tartness. Nice to drink now, but I think another year or two would benefit this wine. Should hold through 2020. Tasted Sept 2013
