Barbaresco Roncaglie

This wine is truly unique and offers a sense of novelty. The nose is somewhat inky and perfumed, revealing notes of plums, raspberries, cacao, red flowers, oriental spices, incense, and mint. On the palate, it carries a lot of greenness but maintains a sense of delicacy and balance, with a delightful sweetness in the finish. It is long, delicious, nuanced, and complex---richly packed with potential. I can't help but wonder how it will further develop over the next five or more years.
