Estimate
Deeply pitched aromatics meld into a huge core of fruit as this expressive, translucent Barbaresco opens. I admire the delineation and focus here. Bright red-toned fruit, white pepper, mint and chalk abound. There's tremendous purity of fruit here, while the balance is just stunning.
Enticing aromas of rose, iris, culinary spice and botanical herb take shape in the glass along with whiffs of crushed berry on this fragrant red...focused, linear palate...offering juicy red cherry, star anise and thyme set against bright acidity and firm, close-grained tannins...
A rich and round style...boasts plum, cherry and black currant flavors, with accents of earth, iron and menthol. Well put-together... Delivers earth and spice notes that linger.
...bouquet is redolent of dried raspberry, cherry, sweet soil and candied lilac...an elegant and streamlined wine...
Complex aromas of dried flowers with red fruit and orange peel. Some white truffle, too,as well as hazelnut. Medium-bodied with a solid core of slightly chewy tannins and a flavorful yet focused finish.
Complex aromas of maturing red fruits, sweet cherry – intense and vibrant. More depth and power...juicy fruit at the core. Fine harmony and length. Power without heaviness.
