This is an elegant, pure-tasting, lighter-styled Nebbiolo.Medium-light ruby color with the beginnings of some amber at the rim. Light-intensity nose of dried cherries, black cherry, and sandalwood. The flavors are more intense than the nose would lead you to believe. An intense, linear attack of dried dark cherry, old barrels, dark slightly-bitter minerals, and lightly-scorched gravel that is not heavy but clings to the palate a long time. A fair amount of fine-grained tannin provides texture. Moderate acidity. B+. This is drinking well now and will continue to drink well, or possibly improve, over the next 1-3 years. Was $19.99 from Wines Til Sold Out, making it an extremely good value for a solid Barbaresco. Imported by Superior Wines, Cranford, NJ.
