The 2016 Barbaresco Rombone is the most finessed Rombone I have tasted in twenty years of visiting the property. A reduction of time in barrique in favor of cask seems to release the wine's aromatic intensity while giving a more elegant, mid-weight Rombon...
Currants and blueberries with hints of flowers and perfume. Stones, too. Full body, a dense center palate, layers of ripe tannins and citrus rind. Layered and structured. Plush. A very serious wine from this estate. Best ever? We will see
Good black fruits and nice spicy bouquet, quite fleshy and good weight for a second wine, supple and easy.
Lots of rose petal and cherry aromas with some sandalwood. Full-bodied with velvety and structured tannins on the palate. Layered and intense. Flavorful finish. Very well done for the vintage. Give it three to four years to soften the tannins.
