"This is extremely decadent, with plums, meat, foie gras and rose bush aromas and flavours. Full body with soft, velvety tannins and a long, intense finish. So much flavour. Wonderful wine."

"The 2004 Barbaresco Valeirano is even better than the Gallina. Made in a fresher, more structured style than the Gallina, it is a gorgeous, poised wine with ripe fruit, menthol, spices, truffles and sweet toasted oak notes. Still backward, it is the most structured of these 2004 Barbarescos, and will require patience."
