Score 94+/100 · Drink 2025-2042, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Oct 2020
The 2017 Barbaresco Montestefano is a dark, brooding beauty. Super-ripe black cherry, plum, mocha, cloves, leather and licorice add to a real sense of gravitas that runs through the 2017. Readers need to be patient with the Montestefano. I suspect it will always remain something of a brute, but it is endowed with tremendous presence and a ton of personality.

Barbaresco. Tasted blind. Quite deep ruby. Intense brooding nose of dark cherry with notes of fruit cake, but much more appealing than it sounds. Embracing, open-knit, supple palate with dried-fruit notes and coating tannins and plenty of ripe acidity on the finish. (WS)
