1996 Bruno Giacosa Barbaresco Asili Riserva

Deep ruby coloured with quite intense noses of black plum, road tar, smoke, dates, licorice, dried berry, prune and trace of dust. Dry with medium acidity, alcohol and full bodied. The tannin is ripe and soft at medium level. On palate it gives quite intense flavours of black plum, black cherry, smoke, toast, cinnamon and menthol. Fairly long length with black plum finish. (93) Good complexity

頗複雜的一枝酒，酒香的感覺比酒味濃，但在口中轉淡後又出現另一種味道感覺，很值得讚。單寧成熟而柔軟，餘韻亦長，靚酒的表現。酒味濃厚得來而又保存著品種的特色，是一件很出色的作品。
