Ricossa Antica Casa Barbera d'Asti 2005

Piedmont, ItalyLicorice, spicy, meaty, peppery, floral nose with black cherry, red plum, resin and tobacco aromas. The entry is ripe and supple, the palate is dry with soft acidity; it is all balanced. Juicy black cherry, almond, chocolate, peppery, tobacco, resin, meaty kirsch flavours. Good fruit and intensity but warm on the finish. Very modern, ripe style but attractive for current consumption. Great value.Tasted: 10 November 2008Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
