La Spinetta Barbaresco Valeirano 2001
Defined red. Intense perfume, articulate, yet profound scent of fruit and spices. Full development on the palate, well structured with strong tannins, yet impeccably balanced with a long, fine finish Wine Advocate The 2001 Barbaresco Valeirano offers much raspberry and black cherry fruit in its aromatic range, together with notes of smoke and minerals. More concentrated than the Barbaresco Gallina on the palate, it is also suppler and more velvety, quite warm and broad on the finish. Drink: 2005-2017. Score: 93. —Daniel Thomases, August 2005.Wine Spectator Lovely berry, spice and aged cedar on the nose. Full-bodied, with deep fruit on the palate that needs to be drawn out. Tannic and structured. This needs bottle age. Best after 2008. 250 cases made. Score: 93. —James Suckling, December 31, 2004. International Wine Cellar Medium red. Aromatic nose combines exotic fruits and spicy oak. Dense, thick and deep; chewy and structured. Boasts powerful, youthful fruit and a very long, solidly tannic finish. Classic young Barbaresco in the making. 91-93 points Score: 93. —Stephen Tanzer, All sizes are 750mL unless otherwise noted. |
