Wow! Looks its age but till tasted youthful. The Cork looked like it had been place yesterday. This has held up well and will likely go on for 5yr+. That said, drink it now. Dark and dusty. I didn't let it breathe or decant. Dark sour cherries and some menthol. Cigar box, almonds amd raisins yet still light and floral (violets). A lovely example of an old school Barbaresco. Simple and really enjoyable.

Color: Dusty darker red, not a hint of browning (I have a good cellar, and have owned the wine since release). Didn't bother decanting. Cork tight and excellent condition. Upon opening, ready to drink. Perfect timing! N. Italian flowery violets, soft tannins (mmmm!), and very traditional old, well-aged Piemonte wine. Not all that complex, not a "great" old Neb, but really good, and really traditional. Highly recommended.

Pop and pour. Roser, kirsebær, markjordbær, søt lakris, trøffel og sopp. Frisk rød frukt, bra syre og medium tannin. Fortsatt ungdommelig.

Jordig (unken enligt frugan men det tycker jag inte), tydlig ålder, mandel och körsbär. Ekbeska, föredrar senare årgångar.
