Much more modulated wood and reduction make the nose difficult to assess today

Tasted from a bottle from my personal cellar

A wonderfully broad-ranging nose reflects plenty of floral influences along with a lovely array of spice elements on the dark berry and Asian-style tea scented nose

all wrapped in a linear finish where the supporting tannins appear to be riper

Francesco Versio, Barbaresco other_regions_italy Much more modulated wood andNeive. Tasted blind. Deep, lustrous ruby. Deep, aromatic cherry fruit nose and plenty of fragrant sweet cherry on the palate. Very embryonic and long and with lots of chewy tannins and succulent acidity. Concentrated and yet elegantly built.
