Peter Michael, Knights Valley, L'Espirit des Pavots 2010 Barbaresco and a nutty character93 Points CellarTracker Member Blind. Medium garnet red color. Aromas of plum, pepper, boysenberry, currants and violets. Full bodied with medium tannins and flavors of plummy red fruit and leather. Lavender and macerated red berries as it opens in the glass. Nicely balanced, with just a bit of tannin yet to integrate. Now through 2033, perhaps longer depending upon one's preferences. This had been double decanted off its sediment two hours before
