2016 Marchesi di Grésy tasting with Jeffrey Chilcott (Martinenga, Barbaresco): For me, the wine of the tasting (although hard to compare with the fully mature 1993). Light ruby colour. A Rabajà-like bouquet of griotte cherry, kirsch, strawberries and new leather. Distilled cherries also on palate, the impression of some fruit sweetness. Plums, strawberries, tobacco and spices. Satiny texture with softer tannins than the Gaiuns. Good architecture. Fine grained tannins. Complex and detailed with good length. I wouldn't open this wine for 3-5+ years.

Earthy leather nose, super silky but dry tannins, strawberry and plum, long and dry finish. Good acidity from beginning to end.

Grande annata, si sente la stoffa. E' già finissimo, tannino di velluto, frutto polveroso e incatramato.
Grande potenziale
