2001 Barbaresco, Produttori del Barbaresco
Appearance: lightish red-purple, pink rim.
Nose: redcurrant and slight red cherry nose with some tar, violets and some other perfume-like smell, slight spice.
Palate: delicate fruit on palate, fine spiky medium tannins, excellent fresh high acidity and a lovely balance of alcohol to acid to tannin to fruit.
Conclusion: we actually drank this over three days because it is still quite age-worthy even although not a Riserva. 2001 is also a particularly good vintage in Piemonte and the Produttori del Barbaresco always does a god job. Very, very good.
Rating: 18/20
