Tasting notes
Deceptively medium in body, the 2015 Barbaresco Bordini is powerful and brooding in this vintage, with quite a bit of depth and substance backing up the dark fruit, smoke, game and leather flavors. Readers should give the 2015 at least a few years in bottle to come around. I expect the wine will always remain on the brooding, virile earthy side of things.

The 2015 Barbaresco Bordini is a bit too hot and jammy for my tastes. Nebbiolo is such a delicate grape, and it has a very hard time adjusting to a scorching hot summer season such as 2015. The bouquet here is soft and immediate with dried strawberry and blackberry confit. The wine is both powerful and generous in personality (with 14.5% alcohol). The young tannins are loosely knit and grainy in texture. Some 9,900 bottles were made.
