Lot #262. La Spinetta Barbaresco Vürsù Vigneto Valeirano 2005

Description: Consists of 8 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 93 WA.
"The 2005 Barbaresco Vigneto Valeirano opens with a huge, brooding nose of smoke, tar, and scorched earth. This massive, building wine changes constantly in the glass, as black cherries, wild herbs, menthol and licorice gradually take center stage. Despite its large-scaled personality, the wine possesses tons of harmony. Sweet notes of menthol and tar linger on the long finish. This explosive Barbaresco is impressive for the way it marries power to elegance in 2005." Wine Advocate #179, Oct 2008
Provenance: The Apennine Cellar
Notes: 1 Cut capsule, 1 wrinkled capsule, 6 very lightly scuffed, 1 very lightly wine stained, 5 very lightly scuffed labels.
