2011 Pelissero Barbaresco Vanotu

(93 Points) The deepest and most voluptuous of Pelissero's 2011s, the Barbaresco Vanotu possesses notable depth and textural volume. Dark red and black stone fruits, spices, mint, wild flowers and new leather blossom in the glass. As always, the Vanotu is a rich, powerful Barbaresco. Ideally, readers will be able to let the wine sit in the cellar for a few years to allow some of the baby fat to melt away. -Vinous Media
