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)

"Lots of tar and spice character with rich fruit. Chewy texture. Medium to full body, bright fruit and a savory 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

Funkelndes Rubin. Ausdrucksstarkes Bouquet nach roter Steinfrucht, Minze und Leder. Saftiger, klarer Ansatz mit geschmeidigen Tanninen. Wunderbar langes Finish mit reifen Beeren und Gewürzen. (superiore.de)

"Sattes, funkelndes Rubin mit etwas lichtem Rand. Dunkle, dichte Nase, viel Lakritze, dahinter Rosen und rote Beeren. Am Gaumen geschmeidig, feine duftige Frucht, öffnet sich mit geschmeidigem, feinmaschigem Tannin." Falstaff

"A firm and silky barbaresco with ripe tannins and lots of walnut and ripe fruit character. Medium body, linear and racy. A beauty." James Suckling

"The 2013 Barbaresco Nubiola is soft, succulent and open-knit. Crushed flowers, mint, anise and dried cherries all lift from the glass in a surprisingly accessible, silky Barbaresco that can be enjoyed with minimal cellaring. The 2013 is not especially complex, but it is delicious and approachable, especially with some air. The Nubiola is a blend of fruit from six different sites." Antonio Galloni

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

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

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

"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

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

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)

"Tiefleuchtendes Rubinrot mit leicht aufhellenden Rändern. Klare, sehr einladende Nase, entweicht offen aus dem Glas nach Himbeer-Eukalyptus-Bonbons, hat feine Würzenoten nach Vanille im Hintergrund. Sehr satt mit stark ausgewogenem Säure-Tannin-Spiel, sehr fruchtig und feinmaschig, endlos lang, besitzt großes Wiedererkennungspotenzial." Falstaff

"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." Antonio Galloni

"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

"Offering a mix of eucalyptus, briar and berry flavors, this red is elegant and intense at once, with an earthy accent chiming in as the finish expands. The dusty tannins leave a mouthcoating grip." Wine Spectator

"Pelissero's 2011 Barbaresco Tulin impresses for its crystalline purity. Bright veins of chalky salinity support the fruit in a drop-dead gorgeous, vibrant Barbaresco built on energy and nuance. An exotic finish laced with hints of tangerine peel, rose petal, anise and spices rounds things out beautifully. This is one of the most polished, graceful wines I have ever tasted from Giorgio Pelissero." Antonio Galloni

"Pretty floral, cherry and raspberry aromas and flavors are show accents of tobacco and spice in this red. Juicy, with a firm structure and lingering finish." Wine Spectator

Pora überwältigt mit unglaublicher Komplexität und einer Aromenvielfalt, die von Himbeeren und Lakritz über Trockenblumen und Gewürze bis zu weißem Trüffel reicht. Im Geschmack bietet der Pora Noblesse und eine gewisse Ernsthaftigkeit, bevor er sich mit Biss und Saftigkeit öffnet und samtig weit ausklingt. (superiore.de)

"The 2013 Barbaresco Riserva Pora is soft, pliant and enveloping. In many vintages, the Pora can be a bit light. Not in 2013. The wine is rich and deeply textured, with layers of fruit that continue to build with time in the glass. The tannins are present, but they are nearly buried by the sheer intensity of the fruit. This is an especially powerful, brooding edition of the Pora. Although impressive today, the 2013 will drink well for decades to come." Antonio Galloni

"Scents of menthol, new leather, dark culinary spice, cured meat and forest floor lead the nose. The smooth, full-bodied palate shows juicy Morello cherry, pomegranate, licorice and clove balanced by vibrant acidity and tense, refined tannins. An almost salty note closes the finish. This a classic Barbaresco with years ahead of it." Wine Enthusiast

"A rich, cherry- and floral-scented red, effusive in aroma, with the core of cherry prevailing on the palate. Though fleshy, this gives way to firm tannins that line the lingering aftertaste. Inviting and full of energy, so decant now or wait." Wine Spectator

Barbaresco mit wunderbaren Aromen von dunklen Früchten, Blumen und einem Hauch Mineralien. Vollmundig, gute Struktur, polierte Tannine. Rund und ausgewogen. (superiore.de)

"Pio Cesare's 2011 Barbaresco is gorgeous. The super-classic bouquet laced with sweet red cherry, orange peel, mint, spice and white pepper is enticing. Generous and layered on the palate, the Barbaresco captures plenty of the warm resonance that is so typical of the year. The 2011 is a blend of fruit from several sites in and around Treiso mostly done in cask. It is the more traditional of the estate's two Barbarescos and also less expensive than the flagship Il Bricco, but here I find more personality, charm and tons of the allure that makes Barbaresco so compelling. The 2011 should age gracefully for years based on its depth, but it is absolutely delicious today." Antonio Galloni

"Pio Cesare's 2011 Barbaresco is a tight and compact Nebbiolo that reveals an attractive level of aromatic intensity and energy. This is a well-composed wine that delivers wild berry, toasted almond and black licorice aromas. Softer fruit flavors appear on the finish. The wine is almost ready to drink now and in the medium-term." Robert Parker

"Cherry, licorice, menthol and tar aromas and flavors mark this a pure, racy red. Tight and reticent now, with intensity and length for the medium term." Wine Spectator

"A red with beautiful clarity and purity plus dried strawberry, mushroom and dried flowers. Full body, fine tannins and beautiful fruit. Makes you want to drink it now." James Suckling
