The 2001 Giuseppe Cortese Barbaresco hit the table and everyone became silent, as they took in its bouquet of roses, dusty earth, sauteed mushroom and dried strawberries. On the palate, I found feminine, lifted textures which seemed to hover on the palate, delivering sweet spice, savory minerals and wild berry fruit with zesty acidity. It finished long with saturating dark red fruits and fine tannin which coated the senses. It's gorgeous tonight with many years of development ahead.
