Marchesi di Barolo, Barbaresco (Piedmont, Italy) 2009

Jul 12, 2012

By Michael Franz

 A very showy wine that somehow manages to seem more natural than contrived, this displays lots of sweet oak on the nose, but there’s also enough sweet fruit to maintain a perfectly balanced profile on the palate and through the finish.  Already delicious, this will nevertheless reward at least another five years of cellaring.
