Cocito Barbaresco Riserva 'Baluchin'

Dark cassis and plum, with some spicy elements of crushed clove, balsamic herb or rosemary essence.

"Here's a late release, from a little producer in Barbaresco, that is hitting the market 10 years after the harvest. Ezio Cocito's 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Baluchin has aromas of rust and iodine that underline the tertiary elements of this aged Nebbiolo. Luckily, the fruit holds steady, and although it tastes mature, you still get crème de cassis and dried cherry. The effect is very beautiful overall, and this wine shows nice harmony. Drinking it now is a good bet, although you can expect a bit more aging from this bottle." 94 Points Wine Advocate
