($200; white label) Fascinating aromas of game, tobacco, flowers, eucalyptus and wild mint. Sweet, superconcentrated and fine-grained. Combines an almost extreme sweetness for Giacosa Barbaresco with terrific acidity and compelling inner-palate perfume. This really reverberates in the mouth! A wonderfully sweet, silky wine that finishes with a firm tannic spine. As with the 2004, this is more classic than the 2000, but the Burgundian subtlety and complexity of that earlier vintage still make me crazy.

Phenominal wine from one of the best!
12/10/2010
by Chris Cree M.W.
This estate makes some of the best expressions of the Nebbiolo grape and this is no exception. Just coming out of its shell, it still could use 5-10 more years to really reach its peak. Nevertheless, delicious now, if a bit tight and grippy - definitely decant and serve with Osso Bucco or a big, thick grilled veal chop Val d'Aostana!
