1988 Produttori del Barbaresco
Decanted to aerate. Slight browning color. Decent amount of fine grained sediment. It never ceases to amaze me how older Nebbiolo can open up beautifully over the course of four or five hours. This ended up being the favorite wine of the evening with the palate gaining weight showing big delicious red berry flavor supported by nice underlying acidity. Nice window into the potential of the regular PdB.
2007 Mastroberadino Taurasi Riserva Radici
This 2007 Riserva is classically structured for such a ripe vintage. Still somewhat tight, it benefits from aeration in a decanter. After a few hours, the signature garrique accent of the Riserva show nicely. It will be interesting to try the 2007 Riserva next to a 2006 Riserva, which is a more finely filigreed expression with an explosive bouquet.
