Score 91/100 · Drink 2022-2032, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Oct 2020
The 2017 Barbaresco is a terrific wine to drink now and over the next decade or so. Ample and creamy, the 2017 is so inviting. Sweet red cherry, crushed flowers, mint, cedar, rose petal and blood orange give the 2017 an exotic character that is so appealing. Another year or two in bottle will help the tannins soften. This is nicely done.

Neive. Tasted blind. Just mid ruby. Iron, cumin and dusty cherry on the nose. Rather ripe and sweet even if the fruit is (still) a little numb on the palate, but the surprisingly lively acidity pulls the whole up. Could go anywhere, while the finish keeps evolving. (WS)
