Score 88/100 · Drink 2013-2021, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Oct 2012

Piero Busso's 2009 Barbaresco Borgese wafts from the glass with crushed flowers, sweet dried cherries, anise and leather. This soft, caressing Barbaresco is quite pretty, but it is also a touch faded, which suggests it needs to be enjoyed sooner rather than later. Sweet floral notes add lift and also an element of fragility on the finish.
