Great wine indeed. Nose is complex, camphor, dry amarena cherry, some flint, no oxidation not fading on this bottle yet.
On the palate, Fruit is gone for this bottle, wine is dominated by its tannic structure that is on the dry side, almost austere. I was expecting a fleshier, mellower tannin. Dry herbs, dry raisins, cherry again.
Long finish, good acidity that’s keeps the wine alive and well going.
Mitigate the intensity with proteins and juice/sauce.
Osso bucco with prunes will work. We did Fiorentina and it was ok. The crust and smokiness did not help, over exhibiting the dryness of tannins. — 8 years ago

1987 vintage
Кожа, лак, малина, клюква, грибы, устричные створки, белый перец, чуть ощутимый остаточный сахар. Живое, полное энергии вино, сохраняющее свежесть и легкую игристость на языке. Эно-цигун. — 9 years ago

More rich and complex than many other Barberas, with darker fruits. A beautiful expression of Barbera. — 11 years ago

Some still white for those at WND night dinner who had a bad high school indulgence with “Champagne” and have never been able to recover. But really, let’s be honest...you were pounding Cooks from the bottle, you weren’t drinking Champagne. — 8 years ago
