Decanted and aerated for five hours prior to dinner. Minimal sediment.
Utterly classic perfumed nose. Clearly, a wine of great elegance and balance from the start. Got better and better throughout the evening.
Delicious dusty fine-grained tannins caress the palate, and bode extremely well for further aging and tertiary development.
A structured sweetness to the black cherry fruit complements the tar, balsam and anise accents. The magical combination of elements that can make the truly great wines of Barbaresco so gracefully compelling.
Paired beautifully with grilled lamb chops, garlic-proscuitto mashed potatoes, and broccoli rabe.
