| Notes | "The 2018 Barbaresco Casot is a fragrant and immediate wine that shows a good amount of ripeness and richness up front. This was a cool vintage overall, although the fruit ripened quickly toward the end of the growing season. There are sweet cherry aromas with spice and licorice. The wine drapes over the palate with silky and smooth intensity. The Casot vineyard is distinguished by layers of bluish tufo soil and layers of looser sand." (Wine Advocate) | |||
Additional Notes "Classic scents of tar and roses accent this wine’s bright red-cherry flavors. Those fruit tones gain flesh with air, picking up hints of fennel bulb and damp leaves that add a pleas- ant earthiness to the wine." (Wine & Spirits Magazine) "Enticing scents of purple flower, wild berry and dark spice lift out of the glass. Racy and focused, the palate offers tart pomegranate, blood orange and black tea set against a backbone of firm, fine-grained tannins. It's still young and rather austere so give it a few more years to fully integrate. " (Wine Enthusiast) |
