Score 93/100 · Drink 2026-2041, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Oct 2021
The 2016 Barbaresco Faset gives the impression of being the most accessible of the 2016 Barbarescos, but only in relative terms, as it, too, is pretty tannic. Kirsch, sweet tobacco, cedar, dried flowers and anise open gradually over time. The Faset requires patience, but it should open a bit earlier than the rest of the 2016s.
