2004 Produttori del Barbaresco Riserva Rio Sordo, Piedmont

92 pts Antonio Galloni

'The 2004 Barbaresco Riserva Rio Sordo is one of the better versions of this wine I can remember. There is considerable depth and richness in the fruit here as this sweet, layered Barbaresco opens up in the glass. The typical spiced, floral Rio Sordo notes are amply present in the wine, but in 2004 there is additional level of concentration and richness that has eluded previous vintages. This is a beautiful Rio Sordo from the Produttori.' Last tasted Oct 2008; Drink now - 2020.
