Barbaresco, Costa Russi

Notes

More opulent and immediately enjoyable perhaps than the other two single vineyards, this demonstrates buckets of wild ripe bramble, mulberry and cherry fruit with more than a suggestion of sweet clove and cinnamon spices, together with richer shade of smoky mocha. Aged for a year in large french oak cask and a year in smaller barriques, a third new oak.

Notes

Good medium red. Reticent nose hints at strawberry, raspberry, mocha and smoke. Fresh and nicely delineated, with silky-sweet flavors of dark raspberry and spices. Intensely flavored wine with a captivating sugar/acid balance. Finishes with firm, building tannins and lovely juicy cut. I find this more vibrant and classic than the 2009.
