This Barbaresco shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of brick red,
moderate transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined
and elegant aromas that start with hints of cherry, plum and dried violet
followed by aromas of raspberry, dried rose, cocoa, tobacco, vanilla,
clover, licorice, leather, mace, cinnamon and menthol. The mouth has good
correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and pleasing crispness, however
balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors. The finish is persistent
with flavors of cherry, plum and raspberry. A well made wine. This
Barbaresco ages for 18 months in barrique. |
