| Tasting note |
To be released in September, the 2014 Barbaresco is a beautiful wine that encompasses the important qualities that we look for in fine Nebbiolo. Ultimately, this is the kind of vintage that transfers best to the delicate grape. It saw a long growing season (Nebbiolo loves a late harvest) and steep diurnal temperature shifts to lock in the freshness of aromas. The mouthfeel is a bit thinner in texture, but it delivers plenty of beautiful length and endurance instead. It offers crisp tones of cherry fruit with licorice, wet earth and blue flowers. The line of Barbaresco Riserva wines from the various single vineyards will be made in 2014 (and will be released in early 2018). By Wine Advocate.
Fragrant, with cherry, strawberry and rose notes, this elegant red offers flavors of berry fruit, licorice and underbrush, ending with a firm grip of tannins and chewy licorice and spice accents. Best from 2019 through 2032. By Wine Spectator.
Rose petal and strawberry aromas follow through to a full body, chewy tannins and a fresh finish. Tar. Flavorful finish. Very well-done for the vintage. Drink or hold. By James Suckling.
Classic varietal aromas of young Nebbiolo include woodland berry, freshly picked violet and a whiff of tilled soil fill the glass. The fresh, elegant palate delivers red cherry, strawberry, star anise and a hint of graphite set against vibrant acidity and polished tannins. Drink through 2024. Cellar Selection.
