Lot #921. Roberto Voerzio Barbera d'Alba Riserva Pozzo dell' Annunziata 1999

Description: Consists of 1 Magnum, 1.5L
Score: 93 RP.
"The 1999 Barbera d'Alba Riserva Pozzo Dell'Annunziata (aged 18-25 months in new French oak and bottled unfined and unfiltered) is the standard bearer for modern-styled Barbera from Piedmont. The amazing 1999 boasts an inky black/ruby color along with a dazzling bouquet of melted licorice, blackberry and cherry fruit, truffles, vanilla, and Asian spices. Full-bodied, opulently-textured, and prodigiously long, this great Barbera will drink well for 7-8 years, although why wait? After the virtually perfect 1997 and 1998, it is good to see that Roberto Voerzio is actually human and can produce a wine that is merely prodigious as opposed to other-worldly." Wine Advocate #144, Dec 2002
Provenance: The Atlantic Cellar
Notes: Lightly scuffed capsule, very lightly scuffed, very lightly bin soiled label.
