but this is all finesse and class

lively and taut with loads of earthy/savory layers and great length

The mouthfeel of the precise

This is even bigger and more powerful with its mouth coating broad-shouldered flavors that possess plenty of muscle before culminating in an explosive but tightly wound finish that just goes on and on

Refreshing on the palate

Bruno Giacosa, Barbaresco Santo Stefano other_regions_italy but this is all finesseHappily, the 2011 Bruno Giacosa Barbaresco Albesani Vigna Santo Stefano had no such issues, and confirmed itself as a wine of early appeal loaded with easy charm. Its drinking beautifully right now, a refined and silky quaff redolent of ripe red cherry and rose petal aromas and flavors, though this specific bottle seemed a little more evolved compared to other bottles of this wine I have tried recently.
