Riserva Cascina Bordino Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2019

9.0

Made in the more modern style. Leaner and less depth than I’m used to.

The darkish, sour cherries are slightly sour yet have candied & floral quality. Leaner, ripe blackberries, cherries, poached strawberries, hints of raspberries, subtle oak shavings, soft leather, slightly, dry tobacco, some red cola, tea, dry top soils, dark flowers, red roses, nice acidity with a well balanced, even elegant finish that lasts a minute and lands on dry earthiness.

Good pairing with the Culurgiones with Lamb Ragù, Chard, and Salted Citron over pasta.

@Al Refettorio-Alghero, Sardinia.

Prior notes still apply, wonderful bottle!

Light yellow-green on color. Nose is beautiful white flowers, Gardena, Honeysuckle and Orange blossom, just wonderful. Palate is lightly sweet, but so well balanced with savory notes, minor frizzante and medium-low acidity.

Final bottle from the cellar. — 6 years ago
