Score 90/100 · Drink 2002-2013, Robert Parker, Oct 2001

The 1998 Barbaresco Vigneto Starderi reveals tannin and structure, as well as a restrained, backward bouquet. Dark ruby-colored, round, and full-bodied, with notes of licorice, new oak, and black cherries, it requires 1-2 years of cellaring, and should drink well over the following 10-12 years.

Saturated deep red. Knockout nose combines sappy red berries, medicinal black cherry, clove spice and a strong floral perfume. Great sweetness on entry, then lively and firm, with superb intensity and grip. Here the thoroughly buffered tannins come across as remarkably fine. Finishes with an explosion of fresh berry flavor.
