FYI, I posted notes on our '16 Barbaresco tasting last night in a separate thread.
The Moccagatta Bric Balin was even more oaky last night. It’s mindblowing that the critics didn’t pick that up!
Thank you John, we stumbled upon this winery during a trip in August 2017. We tasted their 2013s at the time. “Quite oaky” surprises me as I believe they only worked with large botti. Anyway, we bought some Pora (2013) to take home - it was 18 EUR, so not even a gamble. I have yet to try them, might do so over the next few weeks. I haven’t bought anything since then.
