Score 94/100 · Drink 2021-2031, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Nov 2019

The 2016 Barbaresco is fabulous. Rich, ample and inviting, with terrific depth, the 2016 opens up beautifully in the glass. Sweet cherry, licorice, mint, rose petal, spice and new leather flesh out effortlessly. More than anything, though, I admire the wine's persistence and overall balance. The 2016 is the finest Barbaresco I have tasted yet from Francesco Versio. This is such a pretty wine. Compared with previous vintages, the 2016 offers more finesse and a more transparent expression of Nebbiolo than I have seen in the past.

Neive. Tasted blind. Deep, lustrous ruby. Deep, aromatic cherry fruit nose and plenty of fragrant sweet cherry on the palate. Very embryonic and long and with lots of chewy tannins and succulent acidity. Concentrated and yet elegantly built. (WS)
