Bruno Giacosa, Barbaresco Santo Stefano Riserva 1985
Piedmont
Slightly bin-soiled label. Level: base of neck
Tasting note: The 1985 Barbaresco Santo Stefano Riserva's medium ruby/garnet color displays considerable amber at the edge. The intoxicating perfume of Chinese black tea, smoke, tobacco, cherries, and exotic spices jumps from the glass. The wine is full-bodied, gorgeously-nuanced, and multidimensional, with considerable glycerin and layers of flavor. It unfolds fabulously in the mouth, exhibiting remarkable intensity and complexity.
