Bruno Giacosa Santo Stefano Di Neive Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2001

$379

The 2001 Barbaresco Santo Stefano wafts on the palate with Christmas cake, plums, spices, menthol and licorice. It shows lovely class and an understated personality that is highly appealing. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2021. This is a fabulous set of wines from one of the great Giacosa vintages. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Another stunning performance from the 2001 Santo Stefano. Here I found a lifted and elegant nose with sweet spice, roses, dried strawberry, minerals, and dusty eartb with a hint of orange peel and leather. On the palate, it showed silky, lifted textures, in a focused and pure expression of tart cherry with hints of spice, fine tannin and zesty acidity. The finish was fresh with savory minerals, as the fruit dried slightly and fine tannin coated the senses.

Black mold? Wine was mature but bloomed nicely with air. Some tannins, a bit short, but a nice "sweetness" to it, and round mouth.
