“No shortage of flavour or flesh here. It’s plump, perfumed, loaded with five spice, raspberry and ripe cherry. Some game and new leather, raspberry acidity, ripe and plentiful open weave tannin, long finish with black tea, and a sort of cranberry freshness/dryness to it. More good news from this exciting vintage.” 94+ points Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
“Tasted from tank prior to bottling, the 2016 Barbaresco is shaping up to be a jewel of a wine. Rich, aromatically intense and utterly beguiling, the 2016 captivates from the very first taste. The 2016 is medium in body and yet delivers so much flavor intensity, in the way only Nebbiolo can. In a word: fabulous!” 90-92 points Galloni, Vinous
