BARBARESCO Riserva Sottimano 2013
The Sottimano 2013 Barbaresco Riserva is dense and explosive right out of the gate. Rich dark fruit, kirsch, blood orange, cloves, licorice and leather power through. The Riserva, a selection of old-vine fruit from Cottá and Pajorè is a big wine that, in 2013, captures the house style of the era, a time when the wines were marked quite a bit by French oak and just as Sottimano was beginning to experiment with longer macerations. As such, it is a wine that belongs to a previous era here. Over the last few months the elements have started to come together nicely.
CHARMES CHAMBERTIN Grand Cru Domaine Lignier-Michelot 2013
Dark red-ruby. Deep, brooding aromas of very ripe, musky black fruits and black licorice complicated by a tarry element. Fat, silky and sweet but vinous too; in a rather muscular, powerful style but lifted by strong peppery/herbal acidity. Tannins saturate the entire palate. This dry, classic, thick wine needs several years in the cellar to come into harmony and may ultimately merit an even higher rating.
