Our Take: A complete and total steal for a Cru Barbaresco. Evolving and aromatic, with lifted notes of dried cherry, rose petal, and orange peel layered over tar, anise, and sweet spice. The palate is structured yet refined, showing red fruit that has begun to turn savory, with hints of earth, tea leaf, and a touch of balsamic complexity. Tannins are firm but resolved, carrying through a long, elegant finish marked by florals, spice, and a lingering mineral edge.
