Exquisite on the nose, tropic aromas – apricot, citrus. Disappointing on the palate. Hollow and somehow lacking balance (68$)

2007 La Spinetta (Rivetti) Barbaresco Vigneto Bordini 92 Points
Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barbaresco
Excellent on the nose – perfumed and red fruit. Medium bodied, still very tannic. A few more years of cellaring will help (67$).

Much more opened than in my previous tasting. Very fruity – both black and red, but with hints of complexity. Light to medium bodied, still tannic. Great acidity. Wait !!
