Bruno Giacosa Santo Stefano di Neive Riserva Barbaresco Nebbiolo 1998

$399

In 1998, the renowned Barbaresco Santo Stefano is the most forward offering, with its medium ruby color already displaying amber at the edge. Aromas of new saddle leather, fennel, smoke, tobacco, kirsch liqueur, and licorice soar from the glass of this ripe, opulent, medium to full-bodied Barbaresco. I hesitate to say it can be drunk young given the tendency of these wines to shut down, but readers who purchase it (that includes me) should let it settle down for a year or two after arrival, and drink it over the following 15+ years.

Dark and meaty with tobacco and really sexy deep fruit. This is seductive and really expansive. Lovely balanced fruit. Still young... but real promise.

A relative baby in volume, but has a nice mix of secondary flavors with a big feel from the fruit and tannins. Drinking great now, I look forward to revisiting years from now.

On back half of life. Exudes class. Pronounced balsamic and herbal nose, balance, long finish.
