Bottle was opened, re-corked and kept in the cellar for a whole day. Dark garnet red, translucent color. Plum, cherry, raspberry, and mandarin orange zest aromas with tar, licorice, and earth. Incredibly sweet fruit on the palate wrapped in a sturdy structure of tannins and acidity. Hints of truffle and earthiness on the long finish, which just keeps going and going. Very burly style of Barbaresco, but tons of fun. Can be drunk now, but will need 3-5 hours of decanting. Realistically, this shouldn't be touched for another 5 years in my opinion for the tannins to soften. I really enjoyed this and I believe it has great potential. Considering the going price of roughly $45, this is a good value.
