2000 Bruno Giacosa "Asili" Barbaresco Riserva

The 2000 Barbaresco Riserva Asili is as it always has been; impeccably refined, nuanced and silky from start to finish. I have tasted (or drunk!) this wine at least a dozen times since it was first released. The bouquet shows the faintest signs of positive development while the fruit remains vibrant and beautifully articulated. I don‰۪t see the 2000 Asili Riserva being one of the longest lived Red Labels, but it is unquestionably striking in its beauty. (AG)
