Score 92/100 · Drink 2006, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2006

Medium red. What a joy it is to find this beautiful Barbaresco in my glass. Giacosa's 1986 Santo Stefano is an immensely appealing wine. It is soft and delicate in its expression, with lovely spice, cocoa and sweet stewed prune flavors. Though not terribly complex, it offers notable length and most important of all, a great mature-Nebbiolo drinking experience. I have had great luck recently with Bruno Giacosa's wines from the 1986 vintage.
