The 2018 Barbaresco Bordini is a dark, full-bodied wine that expresses the natural intensity of this sector in Neive. Readers will find a bold, structured Barbaresco endowed with serious depth. Black cherry, sage, menthol, licorice, mocha and spice are all kicked up in a Barbaresco that balances energy with size. The 2018 is one of the best versions of this wine I can remember tasting.

Surprisingly austere & lean for 2018, with the earthy aromas dominant. There is some cherry but well hidden.
Love the tannin structure & juicy acidity, but where’s the body & fruit?
Bad bottle?
