2004 Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco Riserva Moccagatta - Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barbaresco (4/8/2017)
Mature? No!

Delicious? Yes!

I felt like checking in on a 2004 Produttori, and this was handy, so it got the call. Thirty minutes of air was all it got before we started trying it, and it showed well from the first sip. All the expected rose, dark cherry and earth notes were there, and it was not forbiddingly tannic. Ninety minutes later the aromatics were much more pronounced, and thankfully the tannins had not become more assertive. We finished the last bits about three hours after opening, and the wine pretty much showed the same face the entire time.
