93 ST.
"(From Rivetti's oldest Barbaresco vines, at 50 to 55 years of age) Good medium-deep red. Reticent but pure aromas of red fruits, marzipan and menthol, plus a suggestion of grapefruit. Then large-scaled and sweeter than the nose would suggest, with a flavor of red fruit syrup lifted by a repeating suggestion of citrus peel and complemented by nicely integrated oak. Finishes very long and sweet, with broad, fine tannins and exceptional mouth coverage." Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Nov/Dec 2007 |
