Tasting Notes

The saturated ruby/purple-colored 1996 Barbaresco offers an intense nose of cassis, minerals, cherry liqueur, and earth. Powerful and muscular, with full body, moderate tannin, and a backward, impressively built, structured style, this large-scaled Barbaresco should be at its finest between 2004-2018.
