Score 95/100 · Drink 2016-2033, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Jun 2013

This wine was tasted in a magnum. The 2004 Barbaresco Riserva Vigneto Starderi is another stunning expression. This time the bouquet is flatter and broader, delivering round fruit, leather, tar and spice. It shows huge intensity and beauty. In fact, everything about this wine is super-sized: The structure, the plush density it shows in the mouth and the impressively long finish. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2033. Giorgio Rivetti has unveiled a stunning line of new wines, and a few surprises as well, from his impeccable winery and tasting room at the foot of the Grinzane Cavour castle. The line of Riserva Barbarescos and Riserva Barolo will only be bottled in magnums in the best vintages. The year 2004 is the inaugural vintage of these special releases. Giorgio purchased a beautiful estate in the Grinzane Cavour estate for making Barolo. His vineyard graces a dome-shaped hill and is planted with 55- to 60-year-old Nebbiolo vines.
