1996 Sottimano Barbaresco Cotta Vigna Brichet

Paired with mushroom ravioli. Smoky cherry with hints of roses and tar. Mouthwatering acidity in balance with fine tannins. Faded ruby color (quite dark for older Nebbiolo) with garnet robe. More approachable now than some of this vintage's big Barolos. A lovely aged Barbaresco.
