Score 92/100 · Drink 2009, Robert Parker, Aug 1999

The 1996 Barbaresco Sori Paitin exhibits terrific fruit intensity, along with toasty pain grille in the flamboyant aromatics. In addition to oak, there is plenty of tobacco leaf, jammy cherries, and dried herbs. Full-bodied, round, luscious, and accessible, this Barbaresco should drink well for a decade.

Dark ruby-tinged red. High-pitched, slightly high-toned aromas of violet, blueberry, mint and grilled nuts. Texture of liquid velvet; lovely insinuating dark berry and mint flavor shows excellent clarity and cut. Tannic, backward and in need of bottle aging.
