92 Antonio Galloni - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The 2007 Barbaresco Rio Sordo is a beautiful wine redolent of crushed flowers, spices, raspberries, plums and tobacco. This is a representative Rio Sordo Barbaresco in its attractive spiciness and up-front, accessible personality. In 2007 the wine has a touch more richness than is often the case, but it never abandons what is a classic feel. Pine, menthol, resin and a host of other balsamic nuances linger on the impeccable finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2025."
