Antonio Galloni - Wine Advocate
The masculine, powerful 2003 Barbaresco Bric Ronchi
presents a dark color as well as a rich and varied array of ripe
fruit, tar, licorice and sweet toasted oak flavors. Although this
full-throttle Barbaresco displays great concentration as well as
length, even those admirable qualities can’t completely balance
the hard tannins that are present. This should be accessible earlier
than the Loreto but owing to its generous fruit it should drink
well to at least age 12 perhaps longer.
