Barbaresco and Barolo 2004

Moccagatta, Barbaresco, Basarin 2004 The nose features plenty of black licorice and a blush of vanilla. In the mouth this young Barbaresco is approachable, with ripe yet present tannins – another winner from Moccagatta with great length. The grapes are by definition 100% Nebbiolo and the wine spends 18 months aging in French oak barriques, 40% of which are new. Proprietors Francesco and Sergio Minuto. P&B in Barbaresco 14.5% purchased for $43.99 at Bottle Barn

Andrea Oberto, Barolo, Vigneto Rocche 2004 The fruit has a ripe and raisined quality to it with notes of spicy flowers. In the mouth this young Barolo is a tannic monster, yet there is plenty of stuffing to keep up the structure -great length and a very nice wine. Estate bottled in La Morra in Piemonte 14.5% purchased for $74.99 at Bottle Barn Andrea Oberto
