Also tasted today - 1999 Azelia Barbera d'Alba Vigna Punta - a new age Barbera without the terminal acidity of the traditional style, but with more fruit at the beginning. Well made and enjoyable now and for the next few years.

1998 Burrowing Owl Cabernet Sauvignon - from the most successful vintage BC has yet seen, this cab is quite dark with a high-toned nose showing a definite mint note. The entry is sweet, and it has a full feel to it,. It is well balanced and has enough acidity to finish cleanly. Good now and may improve a bit more - it will certainly hold a few years. One of the best reds I've seen from BC so far. Very hard to find as the production is small and almost all of it goes to small stores and restaurants.
