Barbaresco

Terre da Vinos farbintensiver Barbaresco La Casa in Collina duftet interessant nach welken Blumen, Weichseln und Tabak. Höchst ausgewogen der Geschmack mit seiner vorzüglichen Persistenz. SUPERIORE.DE

"Fresh blue fruit really pops out of the glass here, as well as glazed cherries, bark, cedar, tobacco and citrus. Full-bodied, very elegant and refined, but boasting a lot of concentration with chewy tannins and a medium-long finish." James Suckling

Helles Rubinrot mit orangen Reflexen. Feines Bouquet nach Veilchen, Waldboden und einer balsamischen Kampfer-Note. Am Gaumen Marasca-Kirsche, etwas Himbeere, Lakritz und eine Minznote. Frische Säure und das richtige Maß Tannine runden das angenehme Finale ab. SUPERIORE.DE

"Concentrated mid ruby with narrow orange rim. Alluring nose of raspberry and cherry with hints of exotic spice and leather. Juicy cherry-fruit palate marked by quite a bit of drying tannins. Huge length, though." Jancis Robinson

"A fresh and lively Barbaresco with citrus, wet earth, cedar and strawberries. Medium body, firm tannins and a tangy finish." James Suckling

"The 2015 Barbaresco (with 18,000 bottles made) shows perfumes of wild rose and lavender potpourri. This is an elegant wine that is laced with a delicate embroidery of wild berry, forest floor, balsam herb and autumnal or earthy aromas. It shows a lean, mid-weight approach with lots of firmness and freshness to encourage medium-term cellar aging." Robert Parker

Mittelkräftiges Rubinrot, feines Rosenbouquet mit Anklängen an Tee und getrocknete Kräuter. Schönes Schwarzkirsch-Aroma mit gut eingebundener Holznote macht ihn zu einem ausgewogenen und an keiner Stelle aufdringlichen Wein. Der warme Jahrgang 2015 gibt ihm zudem eine wunderbare Balance. SUPERIORE.DE

"Mid to deep ruby with orange tinges. Cherry nose of real vigour. Generous palate and with a build-up of coating tannins and ripe, supple acidity. Already approachable." Jancis Robinson

"Mid ruby with orange tinges. Deep, concentrated nose with a little lift and brooding intensity. Concentrated and long, yet convincingly balanced by integrated acidity and with a rich layer of sandy tannins. Good potential although this can be approached now." Jancis Robinson

In einem tiefen, lebendigen Rubin- bis Granatrot zeigt sich der Barbaresco mit dem weitläufigen Bouquet von roten Früchten und Gebäck und einem mineralischen Anflug. Geschmacklich überzeugt er durch eine reiche, solide Struktur sowie eine kontinuierliche Entwicklung, die in einem langatmigen duftentsprechenden Finale endet. Die in Italien führende Winzergenossenschaft zeigt jedes Jahr bereits mit ihrem Basis-Barbaresco, wozu sie und ihre Mitglieder in der Lage sind. Complimenti! SUPERIORE.DE

"Barbaresco. Tasted blind. Concentrated ruby. Lots of concentrated, sweet cherry fruit and grainy tannins and plenty of acidity, too. Generous, tannic and long with youthful vigour but can be approached now. Good ageing potential." Jancis Robinson

"Rose petal, dark spice and camphor aromas slowly take shape in the glass along with a whiff of tar. Juicy and delicious, the smooth full-bodied palate has a weightless elegance, delivering succulent Marasca cherry, ripe raspberry, licorice and tobacco while fine-grained tannins provide support." Wine Enthusiast

"The 2015 vintage opens to a visibly darker color and thicker concentration compared to recent past vintages. Next to the upcoming 2016 and 2017 editions, we can expect 2015 to be the most fruit-forward of the three. You get dark tones of plum and blackberry with dry tannins at the rear." Robert Parker

"Charming aromas of cherry, strawberry and rose are inviting in this red, with flavors to match, showing ripeness and focus. Earth and mineral elements chime in as this firms up, but the harmony is there and this should really sing in about five years." Wine Spectator

Cognos Barbaresco aus der Top-Lage Bordini ist ein zentrierter und fester Nebbiolo, der eher zu den kräftigeren Vertretern der Appellation zählt. Er offenbart sein großes Aromen-Potenzial allerdings erst auf den zweiten Blick: Kirsche, Brombeere, Anklänge von Gewürzen und ein wenig frisch gehackte Minze. Dann etwas Spekulatius, Walnuss, salzige Töne und Tabak. Säure und Tannin bilden eine perfekte Symbiose und zugleich das Rückgrat dieses imposanten Barbarescos, der viele Jahre Freude machen wird. SUPERIORE.DE

"A top note of mint augments the cherry, strawberry, eucalyptus and tar flavors in this austere red. Assertive tannins gird the finish, yet this remains long and finds equilibrium in the end." Wine Spectator

"Aromas of cherries, cream and roses follow through to a medium body with beautifully depth of fruit and a long, fine tannin structure. Hard to not drink now. Better in 2020, but it’s already beautiful." James Suckling

"Although Cogno are better known for their Barolos, they also produce a Barbaresco from 1ha in Neive. The nose is still muted, with discreet raspberry aromas. The palate is fresh, vibrant and concentrated, showing zest as well as weight. There's plenty of energy and drive here, followed by a long, forceful finish." Decanter

"Compelling aromas of fragrant blue flower, red berry, crushed herb, new leather and tilled earth shape the nose. On the savory, full-bodied palate, taut, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity frame flavors of ripe Marasca cherry, raspberry compote, licorice and tobacco. It's young but already boasts a fantastic combination of elegance and structure." Wine Enthusiast

"Even at a relatively spritely age, the 2016 Barbaresco Bordini is showing some carefully evolved notes and a subdued style. The wine feels well contoured and shaped with softened layers of bramble and wild berry. There is bright elegance and grace here. Pair it with some mild goat or sheep milk cheeses, such as robiola." Robert Parker

Mitteltiefes Rubinrot mit orangenen Reflexen. Wunderbares Bouquet nach feinem Sauerkirsch- und Erdbeerkompott mit verhaltener Eichenwürze. Vielschichtig und saftig am Gaumen mit einem Potpourri von dunklen Früchten, umrahmt von einem feinkörnigen Tannin. Seine präzise Säure führt uns in einen schier endlosen Abgang. SUPERIORE.DE

"Underbrush, truffle, iris, baking spice and aromatic herb aromas all come seamlessly together on this alluring wine. The tense, savory palate delivers ripe black cherry, red berry, star anise and ground clove. Tightly knit, fine-grained tannins and bright acidity offer balance and support." Wine Enthusiast

"Offers intense aromas of rose, cherry and spice, with hints of tar, leather, iron and tobacco on the palate. This is firm yet ripe, with fine balance lining all the components on the long finish." Wine Spectator

"This is the estate's top-shelf expression. The 2014 Barbaresco Bordini is a subtle and silky expression that ushers forth a pretty stream of authentic Nebbiolo characteristics. You get red currant, dried berry, campfire ash, tar, licorice and subtle whiffs of white truffle. Despite the difficulties associated with this vintage, this Barbaresco delivers an impressive sense of authenticity and energy. The tannins still have a tight grip, so I would recommend another few years of bottle aging." Robert Parker

"Deep ruby with orange tinges. Closed and not showing much on the nose except for faint, sweet hints. Youthful and tightly built palate but with plenty of fruit on the finish. Gripping tannins that then melt on the finish." Jancis Robinson

"The Fontanabianca 2016 Barbaresco Bordini is a very soft and accessible expression of Nebbiolo that shows some ripe fruit softness with bold cherry notes followed by spice, tobacco and tar. The wine delivers a very tightly knit texture, yet it is surprisingly forthcoming and generous at the same time. It's another great Barbaresco for grilled meats." Robert Parker

Das Bouquet zeigt dunkle Früchte, nuanciert mit Gewürzen, Teer, Lakritz und wilden Beeren. Das Mundgefühl ist weich und geschmeidig mit einer dauernden und seidigen Textur. Hier kommt ein Nebbiolo, der Charakter und Persönlichkeit ausstrahlt. Barbaresco Vigneto Bordini ist eine präzise Interpretation der Traube, die mit Leichtigkeit eine feine Linie zwischen Eleganz und Kraft zeichnet. SUPERIORE.DE

"Mid to deep ruby. Exotic, lifted nose with raspberry and passion fruit. Super-bright raspberry palate with bags of sweet, coating (oak?) tannins. Very unusual yet succulent and intriguing. This probably just needs more time in the bottle." Jancis Robinson

"This Barbaresco is of a thicker and darker concentration than the others within this set of new releases, with ripe cherry fruit and dark berries that lift immediately from the glass. But the 2016 Barbaresco Vigneto Bordini is thinner and less consequential in the mouth than I had expected from the appearance. This is a very linear and streamlined approach that could accompany a tenderloin carpaccio with arugula, shaved Parmesan and extra virgin olive oil." Robert Parker

"A uniquely pretty nose with plenty of peach tea, persimmon and earl grey tea. Medium to full body, round and generous tannins and a orange-coated finish." James Suckling

"Neive. Tasted blind. Maturing concentrated ruby with bricky rim. Herbal nose with notes of sour cherry and mint. Tightly wound marasca cherry. Elegant palate weight, but also has plenty of concentration and lots of powdery tannins." Jancis Robinson

"The 2015 Barbaresco Vigneto Bordini is La Spinetta's most accessible expression of Barbaresco. I tasted the wine one month after it was bottled. This edition should be hitting the market within the next few months. Fruit for this wine comes from the southeast side of the Bordini cru that is known for softer and sweeter berries. That ripeness is particularly evident in this warm vintage. This wine is packed tight with flavors of cherry and blackberry confit and ends with powerful 14.5% alcohol. This is a ripe-tasting, near-term Barbaresco." Robert Parker

"La Spinetta's 2015 Barbaresco Vigneto Bordini is soft, open-knit and inviting, all of which makes it a fine choice for drinking over the next decade or so. Crushed flowers, dried herbs, tobacco, cedar and mint are all nicely lifted in this decidedly fragrant, mid-weight Barbaresco." VINOUS

"Decadent and rich aromas of smoked meat, ripe fruit and rose stems. Lots of leather, too. Full body, round and soft tannins and a delicious finish. Give it a year or two to come around more, but already delicious." James Suckling

"Exotic aromas of rose, peony, raspberry and kirsch are shaded by juniper, wild thyme and tar accents. This is an elegant red, firmly structured yet balanced and long, with a persistent, detailed finish." Wine Spectator
