"Lots of flower petal, dried strawberry, cedar and milk chocolate character on the nose and palate. Medium- to full-bodied with tannins that build on the palate and are long and consistent. Turns soft at the end as it grows on the palate. Better in 2027 and on onwards."

"The 2021 Barbaresco Vigneto Bordini is a very pretty, open-knit wine. Crushed flowers, red cherry/plum fruit, leather, spice, menthol and blood orange are front and center. Wines from Bordini tend to be a bit more tannic, but the 2021 here is pretty approachable. Floral and spice overtones lift the finish."

"Offering a mix of balsamic and savory aromas and flavors, this red reveals notes of eucalyptus, mint, juniper, black currant and raspberry. Sleek and firmly structured, with intense fruit and a mineral element prevailing in the end. Balanced, this just needs a few years to integrate. Best from 2028 through 2043. —B.S."
