A pronounced garnet color, dark for a Barbaresco. The bouquet is also dark and shadowy with notes of burnt bouillon cube, goudron and licorice root on a background of blueberry gelatin. The mouthfeel is savory and very broad and still very thick, with tannins that still hold up, while the aftertaste is a bomb of licorice and rhubarb. This vintage again proves to be mysterious, one full of character but selective in regard to drinkability. More 1996 than Martinenga, this was the only wine in the tasting with a balsamic note. Only for great wine lovers for whom this will be a psychedelic trip. The first wine that needs to be decanted and it may still need to age another ten years or so.
