The 2011 is in a nice spot, traditionally made, integrated Nebbiolo flavor profile. Could not put this one down. SommSelect

A medium garnet color with a wide rim. Classic Barbaresco nose of dried roses, cherries, and dark chocolate. Absolutely gorgeous on the nose. This is one of those producers where you just know that it’s going to be good. A fuller bodied Nebbiolo that’s dancing gracefully at the moment. Ripe tannins that do need a bit of air before the fruit can be fully uncovered. Silky smooth on the tongue and just plain delectable. Touches of leather and dried herbs to go along with the oak, stewed plums, and more cherries on the palate. Chocolate mousse and tobacco follow on the long finish. This can definitely hold up a for several more years but I wouldn’t blame you for opening now.

Notes of black cherry, violet, hint of black licorice and cognac. Very full burnished plum and berry accent. Not fruity but dry, elegant. Soft soft finish.

Really excellent. Bit of raisin but pure pure fruit, perfectly balanced, excellent acid, long finish. Delicious.
