It opens with the signature varietal traits of tar and roses - beautiful. Evocative layers of dark cherries, blood orange, licorice root and dried herbs with sheets of fine spices. All elements build interest with a quiet authority and I can't help but lean in. A subtle minerally drive evolves with time in the glass. Delicate, superfine powdery tannins steal the show and are a testament to this revered producer's expertise. It's a wine that oozes contemplation and there is no doubting the precision and complexity on offer. A superb Barbaresco.
