Tasting notes

This had a deep red colour. The nose here shows some oak, but this remains fine, feminin and almost burgundian with hints of roses, red berries, slight anise. Very fine high notes. In the mouth this is a fullbodied and quite soft Barbaresco with some sweetness from both the oak and the fruit. Still quite cool style and in a way charming. Fine fruit and balance with the oak. Medium acids and the typical dry and structured finish that nebbiolo gives. Good. Would be interesting to try again in 5 years to see if the oak integrates with time.
