Castello di Neive, Barbareseco Santo Stefano Riserve 1999


Had this baby Saturday evening. Was popped and poured. It started out a bit muted but after about half an hour it started to show really well.
The colour was brick-red with some orange tones around the edges.
In the nose it was classic Nebbiolo with tobacco, dried fruit and some balsamic notes.

The taste was very balanced and finishing with a nice dryness to it. The tobacco notes was followed by fresh red berries and cherries. This is not a blockbuster wine, but just a very nice drink.
