This 2014 Barbaresco Pora Riserva, crafted from 100% Nebbiolo, presents a complex and evolving aromatic profile. On the nose, expect classic Nebbiolo notes of dried red cherries, raspberries, and plums, interwoven with floral hints of dried roses and violets. Secondary and tertiary aromas developed from its Riserva aging will include nuances of tar, licorice, forest floor, and a delicate spice from oak. The palate will be structured yet elegant, with high, firm tannins that are beginning to soften, balanced by vibrant acidity. The fruit flavors echo the nose, complemented by earthy minerality and a long, persistent finish showcasing savory notes and a touch of sweet tobacco.
