The 2013 Barolo Ginestra shows grace and purity

A wine of notable precision

A medium ruby hue

A notably ripe and densely fruited nose flashes notes of both red and black cherry liqueurlike aromas that display additional breadth in the form of plum and spice nuances

I have also tasted several other examples that have shown similarly if not quite as fresh while meriting scores of between 93 and 94 points

Produttori Barbaresco, Barbaresco Rio Sordo Riserva other_regions The 2013 Barolo Ginestra showsDark cherries, game, smoke, tobacco, licorice and menthol are some of the nuances that flesh out in the 2005 Barbaresco Riserva Rio Sordo. Heading into the first plateau of its maturity, the 2005 is also the most forward of these Riservas. As such, it should be drunk sooner rather than later. There is good depth and density in the glass, but the development of wild, gamy flavors will only accelerate with time. Antonio Galloni
