Estimate
Rose petal, sweet spice, tobacco, mint, anise and sweet red cherry all grace this translucent, super-expressive Barbaresco...light on its feet, persistent and finely sculpted...such a gorgeous wine.
Raspberry compote, truffle, camphor and leather aromas lead the nose along with a hint of hazelnut...palate is focused...red cherry, rhubarb, game, clove and wild mint alongside tight, fine-grained tannins and firm acidity.
Wild garlic and strawberries create a foresty impression on the nose, which also harbors dried plums and cherries...medium-to full-bodied palate...forthright acidity and drying tannins pave the way for a firm finish.
Brooding, concentrated fruit with hints of tea leaves. Succulent and juicy fruit matched perfectly by gripping, ripe tannins. Very intense, long and focused.
