Giribaldi Barbaresco 2011 1.5L Magnum

A mature and elegant Barbaresco with aromas of plum, dried cherry, vanilla, and spice. Layers of black fruit, espresso, cocoa, and earthy complexity unfold across a refined palate with polished tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, graceful, age-worthy finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with braised beef, lamb shanks, truffle risotto, wild mushroom dishes, game meats, aged cheeses, and slow-cooked Italian cuisine.

87 Points - Wine Enthusiast 

This opens with aromas of plum, espresso, truffle and just a whiff of barnyard. The ripe palate delivers juicy black cherry, crushed raspberry, roasted coffee bean and mocha alongside muted, drying tannins. It's already accessible and evolving quickly so enjoy it sooner rather than later. Drink through 2016.

91 Points - James Suckling 

The dark-fruit and mineral character is so attractive here. Full body, soft tannins and a fruity, balsamic, light earth aftertaste. Better in 2016.
