Barbaresco Palazzina, Montaribaldi, 2000

April 28, 2006 by Craig Camp in Barbaresco, Italy, Nebbiolo, Piemonte, Wine Notes

Amazingly generous for such a young wine. Bright ruby with garnet hints. Round and ripe in the nose. Deep plums, with and underlying bitter wild cherry and a hint of orange. Underneath is a clear earthy nebbiolo varietal note. Rich and lean at the same time. Start out big and sweet then implodes into tannin. The finish is long and complex and although this wine is not nearly ready paired with intensely flavor foods like fatty, charred American steak it can be consumed now with pleasure
