Punset, Barbaresco Campo Quadro

Punset, Barbaresco Campo QuadroI tasted this wine several times and experienced noticeable bottle variation. The 2010 Barbaresco Campo Quadro stands apart from its peers with aromas of pressed fruit followed by spice, black olive and cheese rind. It takes a little while to find its bearings. However, once it does it grows in intensity and its aromatic evolution brings it more in line with classic Nebbiolo. It just takes a little while. Fresh acidity and firm tannins give the wine

and sums up 2013 as emphatically 'one of the good ones'

polished finish

highly perfumed bouquet evokes candied dark berries

I generally had a slight preference for the estate Pinot Noir

This too is brooding and rather inexpressive just now with somber but ripe berry fruit aromas

This is bold but beautiful

But this wine wine delivers both value and great style

it treads with the lightest of footprints imparting delicate tones of rose petal

Lovely aromas of coffee liqueur

Beautiful balance
