  Love this wine and has to be one of the best qpr out there. Classic barbaresco. Needed about four hours of air to really shine at this young age. Typical notes of dusty earthy cherry and rose. Tannins attempted to rip my face off but paired with fatty lamb racks worked very well. Lovely long finish that leaves you wanting more.

  great classic Barbaresco. aging quite well and perhaps a bit shutdown at this point. classic notes of cherry and rose with an impressive depth of fruit. not a long ager IMHO. if you have a case, break out the first bottle as this wine in now at the beginning of its drinking window. the phenolic ripeness of the fruit just blows me away with this wine in the 2016 vintage. it's what makes the 2016 vintage perhaps the best of all time. sorry '71 fans.

  Bottle #1 of 2. Full 2" cork in excellent condition. Decanted 60 minutes. Medium ruby with hints of garnet, watery rim. Moderately intense aromas and flavours of cedar, licorice, mocha, red fruits (under-ripe cherry), green stems, oak. Medium-full body, high acid, XD, high tannin, medium-high alcohol (14.5%). Long finish of cinnamon hearts. An excellent wine, but still a baby. All primary and secondary flavours, and clearly has the stuffing to go the distance. Put this in the back of your cellar and forget about it. Will try my second bottle in another 10-15 years.
