"This is tense and concentrated with red berries, plum skins, crushed herbs and blood orange. Some ground spices, too. Medium-bodied with firm, linear tannins and chalky texture. Fresh and crunchy fruit in the middle with hints of raw mushrooms and dried herbs. Drink after 2025."

"Barbaresco. Impressively dark ruby. Concentrated dark fruit with minty oak on the nose. Smooth cherry fruit with touches of vanilla from the oak and long, powdery tannins. Quite a bit of acidity, too, adding freshness. (WS) "

"Medium ruby/garnet, the 2020 Barbaresco Bric Balin brings forward citrus notes of blood orange, dried roses, and cranberries. Well-concentrated, with a medium-bodied frame, it retains tension and offers ripe tannins and clean acidity. Drink 2025-2040. 15,000 bottles were produced."
