Bruno Giacosa Santo Stefano di Neive Riserva Barbaresco Nebbiolo 1985

$1895

In keeping with the style of the vintage, the 1985 comes across as further along the aging curve in its color, flavors and structure. If offers an irresistible mix of sweet prune and plum fruit with notes of spices and licorice in a soft, ethereal style, with notable sweetness and a warmly resonating alcoholic finish. Though not as complex as the very finest vintages, this gorgeous 1985 is a superb choice for current consumption... Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

1985 Giacosa Barbaresco Santo Stefano Barbaresco Riserva Opened and let it sit in the glass for ~30 mins prior to drinking. Chinese tea, smoke, cherries, brick on the nose. Mild tannins. Perfect condition. One of the best bottles of Italian wines we’ve ever had.

1985 Santo Stefano di Nieve Barbaresco. Drank w K at dinner at Ago. Really, really good. Still some interesting rich fruit to it, complex, with layers of different flavors. Great wine.
