No formal notes . This is more lemon yellow . Not showing much perlage . Spiced ginger bread , slightly meaty notes . With some orange rind , and brioche , dried mushroom notes . This is creamy and rich on the palate , lovely spiced yellow fruits orange peel, and brioche . Long and complete , perfect now and over the next 5 or so years.

Very light and crisp with a herbal sage, over pear, and lemon. Light, pleasant, and a little vegetal. Gets fruitier if you let it warm up and bit with some orange blossom notes and tropical fruit. — 9 months ago

Really a wonderful barbaresco riserva. Should have bought more than one bottle. Lots of sediment, so a decant is in order. Wonderfully deep nose, so velvety on the palate. Nice long finish. Just enough refreshing acid too - could have used a smidge more but still very nice. Great pairing with Allen brothers duroc pork chops. — 2 years ago

2017 vintage. Tasted with the winemaker. Slightly too smooth with this blend of three vinyards. Medium body. Some grip but slightly less than you'd expect. Pretty. Harmonious. Together and with it. No rush to crush. 03.19.25. — 5 months ago

For a wine sixteen years old, it is disappointing. But overall, it's ok: leather, liquorice, mint, silky tannins, nice acidity. — 2 years ago

Pretty deep ruby , thin ruby rim . This is quite closed at first , but very focused mineral and grafite , oyster shell notes with dark blackcurrant and blackberry notes , spicy touches too . On the palate this is really focused and reserved , lots of mineral tinged black fruits , tobacco , oyster shell . Quite rich yet very good balance, fresh acidity . Ripe but gritty tannins , saline and really long finish . Accessible now , but really destined for the long term. Wait another 5-10 years , will drink well a further 20 .

Nose is beautiful. Softened cherry fruit.

Palate is still fresh. Cherries. Some spice. Still tannic.
