Description
Monica Larner: The 2011 Barbaresco Riserva Asili (red label) is a
full and generous wine that wraps thickly over the senses. The
bouquet shows enormous depth and power with a generous presentation
of dark fruit, cassis, balsam herb, cola, licorice, tar and
lingering smoke. There is an evident sense of fruit ripeness here
that helps to build momentum and staying power. Clay soils in the
vineyard site have also helped to contribute to the heft and
full-bodied nature of this special wine. The finish is
characterized by mild acidity and lingering flavors of ripe fruit.
The opulent fruit of the wine recalls the 2007 and 2004 vintages.
