Estimate
Fresh and pure, with rose, strawberry, cherry and licorice flavors that are well-defined and long. Tobacco and tar accents add complexity as this red remains delicate and detailed from beginning to end.
Forest floor, new leather, underbrush and eucalyptus aromas mingle with a whiff of peppercorn. On the full-bodied, focused palate...noble tannins and bright acidity frame juicy Morello cherry, licorice, tobacco and a hint of truffle.
Boysenberries, cherry tart, blueberries and lavender introduce a very floral bouquet. Despite the initial, fragrant impression, this Barbaresco is deadly serious, coating the full-bodied palate in layers of structured tannins. Impressive, contrastive wine.
...precise and balanced expression that shows impeccable aromas and fresh primary fruit...wild berry, rose hip, toasted almond and licorice—that this wine delivers with such forthcoming ease.
