"Cedar, Amalfi lemons, potpourri and cranberries on the nose. Firmly structured with chewy tannins and citrusy acidity, while remaining medium-bodied. Tight and fresh. Try from 2027."

"A saturated ruby/magenta in color, the 2021 Barbaresco Basarin shows off lovely, ripe layers with spiced accents and also has notable oak spice, but it seems a bit less overt here. It's more red-fruited and has a slightly higher-toned profile in its notes of chocolate covered cherries, baking spices, violets, and incense. Medium-bodied, it has good drive and energy to its fresh acidity, and its finely coiled tannins add a plushness to the texture, with a chalkier, slightly more linear feel, although it's still ripe all the way through its long finish. I like this a bit more for drinking now, but it should age gracefully over the coming 10-12 years."

"The 2021 Barbaresco Basarin is a fine wine from this site. Crushed flowers, mint, spice, vanillin and a kiss of French oak all grace this attractive, mid-weight offering. The 2021 offers an appealing mix of fruit intensity and the more floral overtones typical of this site."

"This elegant red is expressive, offering cherry, raspberry and floral aromas and flavors framed by toasty oak and sweet spices. Vibrant and harmonious, ending with echoes of fruit and spices. Best from 2027 through 2042. ‡B.S."
