"Spiced red and black fruits, licorice, Asian spice, and graphite all define the aromatics of the 2015 Barbaresco San Cristoforo Riserva, a medium-bodied, beautifully balanced, supple, elegant Barbaresco that has fine tannins and a great finish."

"A medium-to full-bodied red with aromas and flavors of dried cranberries, cherries, citrus peel, violets and licorice. Ultra fine tannins and bright acidity accompany earthy and chewy notes on the palate. Shows structure and intensity. Needs at least three or four years to soften. Try after 2023."

"Camphor, roasted coffee bean and baked plum aromas lead the nose on this powerfully built wine. On the monolithic, concentrated palate, velvety tannins and the heat of evident alcohol accompany steeped prune, blackberry jam and licorice. Drink soon to capture the remaining fruit and freshness.- Kerin O’Keefe"
