the 2004 Barbera d-Alba

toasted grains and honey develop hints of smoky minerals and pungent flowers

The 2004 should drink well for at least another decade

The lilting and lacy medium weight flavors possess a refined mouth feel on the mineral-driven flavors that are almost delicate while terminating in a restrained and lingering finish

Gregoire Bichot (Domaine Clos), Beaune Greves Rouge other_regions the 2004 Barbera d-Alba(from a . 31 ha holding). An earthier nose combines notes of red and blue pinot fruit, violet and soft spice nuances. There is even better volume to the intense and caressing yet powerful larger scaled flavors that exhibit a taut muscularity on the stony, youthfully austere and impressively persistent finish. This is excellent and should prove to be very long lived.
