The 2009 Barbaresco is absolutely remarkable for the way it carersses the palate with endless layers of sweet red fruit

with superb clarity and power to the black raspberry and boysenberry flavors

There is good volume and solid mid-palate density to the seductively delicious big-bodied flavors that are shaped by a phenolically mature tannic spine

A ripe and wonderfully fresh nose also flashes plenty of classic Chablis character on the white-fleshed fruit and floral nose where background notes of iodine and oyster shell are present

Serafin Pere et Fils, Morey Saint Denis Millandes other_regions The 2009 Barbaresco is absolutelyThis is every bit as elegant as the Fontenys but quite firm like the VV, offering a pretty mix of red berry fruits and hints of game, anise and warm iron infused earth notes trimmed in a touch of wood that introduce moderately structured middle weight flavors that are restrained yet sweet, all wrapped in a precise, punchy and mineral based finish. I like this but be aware that there is rigor here so it will require some patience. 90 2012+
