Estimate
...Silky and suave in the mouth, with sound acidity, but not as dense or as forthcoming today as the '96. But here the tannins are smooth and ripe, and the strong black cherry fruit sweet and persistent.
..black raspberry fruit in addition to melted asphalt, smoke, truffle, and toast. This complex, expansive Barbaresco is deeply colored for the vintage, with superb richness, full body, and beautifully integrated acidity,tannin, and alcohol
