Estimate
It packs in a plethora of dried blackberries, tar and creme caramel into a surprisingly balanced nose. Very, very powerful on the palate, which is saturated in dark plums and ripe, chewy tannins.
...rich, heady wine. Smoke, tobacco, leather, licorice, dried herbs, menthol and melted road tar...
...aromas of black cherry, blackcurrant and plum. This Barbaresco is also heavy and thick in the mouth with evident tannin structure and more black fruit intensity on the finish.
...embryonic palate with finely integrated acidity that goes on and on together with the fine-grained tannins.
