Barbaresco

Walter Fissore und Nadia Cogno vinifizieren nicht nur die besten Barolo in der Gemeinde Novello, sondern auch diesen ausgezeichneten Barbaresco aus der Einzellage Bordini. (superiore.de)

"The team at Elvio Cogno has produced a very impressive wine from the Barbaresco appellation. The 2014 Barbaresco Bordini is a thickly saturated and rich expression that flows forth with pretty aromatic intensity and a velvety texture. The wine is not immediately obvious. It opens slowly, keeping your attention all the while, with cherry and blackberry soon followed by spice, red rose and a bright touch of freshly chopped mint. This Barbaresco is centered and firm with a tight tannic structure and fresh acidity at the back." Robert Parker

"Dried berry and fresh flower character. Some walnuts. Primary fruit. Medium to full body, chewy tannins and a tangy finish." James Suckling

"Elvio Cogno's Barbaresco Bordini is classy, elegant and polished. A nuanced wine for the year. Sweet tobacco, crushed flowers, mint and dried cherries are all laced together nicely. Scents of Christmas cake, dried flowers, orange peel and spice add closing shades of nuance." Antonio Galloni

"This fragrant red opens with violet, red berry, crushed herb and menthol scents. It's bright and elegant, offering raspberry, juicy Marasca cherry, white pepper and clove flavors alongside polished tannins. A saline note signals the close." Wine Enthusiast

"Offers aromas and flavors of cherry, flowers, leather and spice, with earthy, chewy tannins and an overall grainy profile. Stays long on the finish. Features a sweet core and will be fine with time." Wine Spectator

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

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

Rio Sordo Riserva ist besonders dicht, reich und ausgewogen. Im Bouquet Rosen, Gewürze und Himbeeren. Am Gaumen sehr komplex und von herrlicher Tiefe. Die floralen Noten bis ins Finale machen diese feminine Barbaresco Riserva schon in jungen Jahren unwiderstehlich. (superiore.de)

"The 2013 Barbaresco Riserva Rio Sordo is one of the more gracious, approachable wines in this range. Medium in body, yet deep and beautifully resonant, the 2013 has so much to offer. It should open up a bit earlier than most of the other 2013s in the range. Succulent dark cherry, plum, tobacco, mint, licorice and lavender grace the effortless finish." Antonio Galloni

"Enticing scents of wild berry, rose, baking spice and balsamic aromas come together in the glass. Juicy and full-bodied, the flavorsome palate shows succulent Morello cherry, cranberry, licorice and ground white pepper alongside a backbone of vibrant acidity and firm, polished tannins. It's already exceptional but will benefit with more aging." Wine Enthusiast

Muncagota mit komplexem Duft von Kirschen und Himbeeren, Rauch, Tabak und Gewürzen bietet dem Gaumen schon jung eine bemerkenswerte Fülle, Süße und Länge. Ein gut strukturierter, klassischer Barbaresco, der uns schon heute und mit Sicherheit noch etliche Jahre Vergnügen bereitet. Unbestritten auch sein erstklassiges Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. (superiore.de)

"Like most of the wines in this lineup, the 2013 Barbaresco Riserva Muncagota is quite potent. A rush of raspberry jam, wild flowers, white pepper and mint make a strong opening statement. Succulent and yet also structured, the Muncagota has so much to offer. It should be one of the first wines in this range to start opening up, although when that will happen exactly is hard to say." Antonio Galloni

"You'll find aromas of star anise, freshly tilled soil, chopped herb and balsamic notes on this full-bodied red. The smooth, concentrated palate delivers juicy black cherry, raspberry compost, pipe tobacco and licorice accompanied by firm, refined tannins and bright acidity." Wine Enthusiast

"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

Der feine Lagen-Barbaresco Ovello beeindruckt mit lebhaftem Granatrot und einer Duftmelange aus roten Früchten, einem Hauch Minze und süßen Gewürzen. Beeindruckend in Typizität und Jahrgangsausdruck mit einem großen Geschmack, der weich und harmonisch in den langen Abgang fließt. (superiore.de)

"The Produttori's 2013 Barbaresco Riserva Ovello is all power, tension and nerve. Even so, the 2013 is remarkably civilized and much less austere than young Ovello Barbarescos usually are. Scents of cranberry, white pepper and mint give the wine its signature high-toned aromatics. The Ovello has a Volnay-like purity to its fruit, with Nebbiolo tannins and structure, of course. If that sounds appealing, well, it is. Vivid, sculpted and impossibly beautiful, the Ovello is simply magnificent." Antonio Galloni

"Wild berry, camphor, moist earth and violet aromas unfold in the glass. The structured, refined palate delivers juicy Marasca cherry, crushed raspberry, orange slice and white pepper alongside polished tannins and bright acidity. A soothing licorice note lingers on the finish." Wine Enthusiast

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

Im Bouquet Eukalyptus und rote Beeren. Energiegeladener Barbaresco mit einem Füllhorn an Frucht, dazu etwas Rosenblüten und Gewürze. Wunderbar geschliffene Machart, eine der ganz großen Weine von Pelissero. (superiore.de)

"A polished and velvety red with blueberry, chocolate and light walnut character. Medium body, firm and soft textured. Flavorful finish." James Suckling

"The 2013 Barbaresco Tulin is deep and layered in the glass, but also quite shut down today. There is plenty of intensity in the glass, but the wine still needs time to come together, as it is a bit nervous today. With air, the wine starts to show some of its pedigree, but readers are best off cellaring the 2013 for at least a few years. Sweet red cherry, plum rose petal and blood orange infuse the expressive finish. This is the wine that shows the energy of the late harvest the most. " Antonio Galloni

Vanotu - ein sehr überzeugender Barbaresco. Attraktives Granatrot, konzentriertes, herzhaftes Bouquet mit feiner Tabak- und Ledernote. Großzügig auch am Gaumen, nach überreifen Sauerkirschen und mit dicht gewebten (noch sehr jungen) Tanninen. Ein spektakulärer und maskuliner Wein mit großem Lagerpotenzial. (superiore.de)

"Aromatic, exuding eucalyptus, menthol, cherry, licorice and leather notes. Offers a bright feel, backed by dusty tannins. Finishes long, echoing the underbrush accents." Wine Spectator

"The deepest and most voluptuous of Pelissero's 2011s, the Barbaresco Vanotu possesses notable depth and textural volume. Dark red and black stone fruits, spices, mint, wild flowers and new leather blossom in the glass. As always, the Vanotu is a rich, powerful Barbaresco. Ideally, readers will be able to let the wine sit in the cellar for a few years to allow some of the baby fat to melt away." Antonio Galloni
