2001 Cantino del Pino Barbaresco

[TheEngineer]

This wine has a ot of character. Color is not the prettiest or brightest, a bit murky and browning hints but mostly purple garnet.

Nose is interestingly bright, focused and intense, smoky, tar, gamy. On palate much the same but a significant structure. Medium body, bright red fruit, bit of tar and smoke. Medium + length with a good amount of tannins still. Interesting but needs food to go with it.

[TheEngineer]

This wine is still rather tight but no real changes to the note. Nice bottle once it opens up.
