This is really pretty good: juicy, lemony red cherry and strawberry dominate on the finish. Shows no angularity and offers lots of simple easy-drinking charm. Not the most complex or concentrated Barbaresco you’ll ever drink, but it’s hard not to like this. Drinking window: 2026-2036.

Pressed rose, wild berry, leather and a balsamic note of camphor lead the nose along with a whiff of hazelnut.
It has a juicy concentration for the vintage, doling out juicy cherry extract, black raspberry and licorice, while tightly wound tannins provide the backbone.
Fresh acidity brightens the rich flavors. Drink 2024–2034. – Kerin O’Keefe
