Bruno Giacosa, Barbaresco Asili Riserva (Red Label) Vintage:2007 airy and admirably pure nose

airy and admirably pure nose features crystal clear and transparent red pinot fruit and essence of stone

The palate is medium to full-bodied with gorgeous plush tannins and balancing freshness supporting the boldly spicy black fruit preserves

but I don't see this ever being a truly elegant Barolo

The oak feels a little more evident (Carlos explained they used a little more new oak for it)

Bruno Giacosa, Barbaresco Asili Riserva (Red Label) Vintage:2007 airy and admirably pure noseA magnificent result for 2014, but then this is a legendary wine, a top bottling from a top estate. The nose is rich, juicy, and exuberant, with piquant raspberry aromas. It's undoubtedly rich and full bodied, and there's no lack of volume or concentration. The tannins are bold and fleshy, and the wine overall is surprisingly succulent and approachable. Very long, grainy finish.
