chiseled and crisp finale

For another producer

It is aged in around 40% new oak with a slightly lighter toast than previous vintages

and mineral salt accents adding appeal to a satisfyingly juicy if (even at barely over 14% alcohol) very slightly warm finish

Punset, Barbaresco other_regions chiseled and crisp finaleThe 2011 Barbaresco shows the signs of a warm vintage. The bouquet offers slightly jammy aromas with blackberry and prune backed by clove, licorice and white pepper. This is a difficult wine to gauge because it could fall flat sooner rather than later. Yet, Punset's wines usually improve greatly with age so there may well be more surprises in store.
