2000 Produttori Del Barbaresco Montestafano Barbaresco Riserva DOCG

Medium translucent red. The Montestefano is fragrant on the nose and shows plenty of super-ripe sweet fruit with a note of menthol on the finish. It lacks persistence and appears to be a wine of modest depth and complexity. I’ve tasted this bottling on three occasions and I am not convinced of the overall balance here.
