This wine presents an intense bouquet, marked by aromatic cinnamon, cherry, oak, tobacco, and a hint of liquorice, displaying a significant influence of oak. While it boasts a rich and engaging aroma, the wine falls slightly short in acidity, affecting its overall balance. The tannins come across as a bit harsh and could benefit from better integration to smooth out the wine's texture. The aftertaste is long and bold, carrying a touch of bitterness into the finish, which adds depth but may not appeal to all palates. Despite these aspects, the wine manages to be quite crowd-pleasing, offering a good level of complexity and richness that many will appreciate.

Wine #2 on Small Growers from Barbaresco event.
