La Spinetta Barbera d'Alba Gallina 2003

Piedmont, ItalyFrom a classic vintage comes a spicy, gamey, thyme, eucalyptus, floral, black cherry nose flecked with meaty, vanilla and mineral notes. Very complex. Dry, round and elegant on the palate with supple tannins. Lots of coffee, vanilla, licorice, black raspberry and smoky white pepper flavours. Delicious with fine finesse and fresh on the finish with very good fruit. A food wine but very drinkable now, should improve over the next 2-4 years.Tasted: 01 July 2006Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
