This is a spectacular Barbaresco

citrus rind and hazelnut scents

I've only tasted a couple of vintages of this before

with notes of maple syrup

and the couple took over running the estate

spicy characteristics and freshness is already starting to show well

This is a robust and very serious Chambolle villages that is a bit less elegant than usual though it’s more powerful

There is excellent volume to the solidly concentrated and intensely mineral-driven flavors that possess evident muscle and power on the firm

it floods the mouth with layer after layer of bitters-tinged fruits

A whiff of wood is present on the expressive and vaguely exotic nose that offers up notes of algae

There is exceptionally good richness to the concentrated

licorice and graphite
