Produttori Barbaresco, Barbaresco Muncagota Riserva other_regionsThe 2016 Barbaresco Riserva Muncagota stands out in this group of nine for the slightly more mineral driven definition on the bouquet and the bigger textural impact and structure of the mouthfeel. There is plenty of wild fruit and cherry, but the wine's aromas also veer toward crushed stone, iron ore, spice and candied orange peel. You feel the impact on the palate, thanks to integrated tannins, freshness and an elegant dose of fruit or phenolic

Siepi is a unique wine that is characterized by a deep sense of sharpness and focus that brings a very bright quality to the bouquet

This is seriously impressive

The 2009 Malartic-Lagravière comprises a blend of 59% Cabernet Sauvignon

Fleshes out with air while maintaining liveliness and finishes bright

if not completely cleaned up to where the reduction was more of a nuance rather than dominating the ripe dark currant

(91-93)/2023+

indeed this may the first vintage in quite a while where it is ready before the Richebourg
