Paitin Barbaresco Serra 2008

Very drinkable already, this pretty wine has a lovely bouquet of cherries and earth. Complex and elegant, this Barbaresco has lots to reveal as it sits in the glass — concentrated dark berries, violets, tobacco leaves and more. Tannins are delightfully approachable. If you can, open the bottle a little beforehand.

The 2008 Barbaresco Serra flows with sweet rose petals, cherries, spices and minerals. It shows lovely overall balance and harmony especially in the energetic finish. The Serra is already pretty inviting (written October 2011), but it will be better with a little more bottle age.
