Elvio Cogno Bordini, Barbaresco DOCG 2016 Review

Barolo and Barbaresco wines are all about power and elegance. But Barbaresco wines have a little more lift on the palate. This bottle is the definition of that. I mean, pure elegance here! It’s hard to put this into words, and you just have to experience it for yourself, but this wine has soft fruit you just want to chew on, while having amazing acidity and tannin structure that only adds to the beauty of the wine. Aromas of bright cherry fruit and orange peel, with a touch of tea leaf. Once this wine hits your palate you may feel like the only one in the room, because you will not want to share. And it’s UNDER $40!!! Buy it ASAP.
