The nose showed dried cherries with spiced-citrus tones, roses, dusty earth, undergrowth and a hint of animal musk. On the palate, I found soft, enveloping textures giving way to fleshy cherry, as brisk acids battled fine tannins, with cascading minerality and inner floral tones. The finish was long and structured, resonating on a mix of fine-grained tannins, minerals and dried cherry. This is only a few years away from a beautiful drinking window. Classic, classic, classic.

Cigliuti with Claudia Cigliuti (Neive, Cuneo, Italy): From Magnum. Very generously, Claudia opened this beautiful wine saying “2001 is a classical vintage in Barbaresco too”. Ruby colour with a little ochre at the rim. A beautiful bouquet, multi-layered and complex including notes of dried rose petal, earth, spices, red berries and cherries, porcini and dry brushwood. A profound wine to drink. Power with lightness. Complex and detailed. Savoury, mineral, earthy, spicy, red fruited and floral. At a lovely stage of its development.

Mature Barbaresco from a very good producer, high-class! Tar, licorice, cherries and roses on the nose, firm and quite tannic but really nice fruit to maintain the balance.
