The Rio Sordo is the most opulent and forward of all the ‘04’s, there is a sex appeal to the gorgeous, super-ripe, sweet fruits, which are layered and polished. The ripe, dark fruit is accompanied by violets, fresh minerals and spices, which are layered in velvety tannins. There is a gorgeous touch of acidity and a seamless transition into the juicy finish, where the fruit carries on and on. This is a fantastic Barbaresco that is drinking beautiful right now, but also has some time to go. (Best 2013-2023) - December, 2013 (JD)
