Another new Bacigalupi, at least for me. I bought 3 each of the 16 & 21.
16’s are a bit oxidized so not seeing the ability to age like Rudd & Edge Hill bottling’s of BG — 7 months ago

Cooked blackberries/cherries, dark cocoa, black pepper, smoked meats/tobacco, touch of herbs (maybe bay leaf?); high and present, but balanced, tannins, medium acidity, drinks quite smooth; Worthy of a few years of aging. Rec from Mark at BG. $30 — 5 years ago

First time trying this. We are closet fans of BG, but this falls short. Nice nose of cherry jam, gives way to a barnyard note on the palate. The texture is moderate, as is the sweetness. But overall, this is one-dimensional, which lacks complexity. We’ll let it breathe to see if it comes out to play... — 6 years ago

Big fan of Bugey Cerdon and this drinks a lot like BG. 8.5% ABV with a little residual sugar. Delicious with strawberry, raspberry and red cherry. The fruit is a little ripe and tasty. — 3 years ago

Extracted Pinot. Ink & fruit. Great upon opening but turned Belle Glossian after being open awhile. Maybe a little more refined than BG — 7 years ago

9.5

BG barbaresco leads the pack. Round, rich, earthy, and full bodied. Great balance for the grape. Black cherry, cedar, and dried fruit. While not a top vintage, a benchmark that’s in its drinking window. St. Stephen will remain... — 7 years ago

9.3

Extended maceration for the win! Peach, tangerine/citrus, and marjoram with minerality. I’m also getting a buttery honeynut cheerio vibe, but whites aren’t my forte. One of my favorite whites I’ve had. BG rec from Mark. $14? — 5 years ago
