2003 Ceretto Bricco Asili Barbaresco RP--89

Robert Parker: 89 Points
Wine Advocate #167 Oct 2006 Antonio Galloni 89 Drink: 2008 - 2018 $118-$152 (130) The 2003 Barbaresco Bricco Asili seems to have suffered more severely from the intense heat. It displays plenty of earthiness, vanilla, toasted oak, cola and ripe small red fruit nuances with promising length, but the finish is dominated by hard, unripe tannins. Bottle age will only help to a limited extent. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2018.
