The utterly perfect, dense ruby/purple-colored 1996 Barbaresco Asili (Red Label Riserva) is a heroic offering brilliantly displaying both power and elegance. The bouquet develops incrementally, offering up aromas of black raspberries, cherries, cigar box, licorice, and leather. The wine impresses with its nuances as well as its extraordinarily rich, dense mid-palate, and a finish that lasts nearly a minute... equally massive concentration, extract, and overall harmony. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2025. Robert Parker

A bit smoky. Great color. More red than orange with very light aroma. I liked the complexity and the earthiness. Fleshy red fruits are there but not pronounced. Always reliable and aged nicely. Wise old wine.
