2007 BARBARESCO Curra' Sottimano

2007 BARBARESCO Curra' Sottimano

Grapes: Nebbiolo  Origin: Italy, Piedmont
Lea & Sandeman review
The Curra' 'cru' produces wines which are powerful and richly textured. The 2007 needs time in bottle as it is still tight and compact, but so well structured with a fine line of finesse throughout that this will make for gorgeous old bones.

Other reviews and comments
The 2007 Barbaresco Curra is a touch more austere and reserved than the Fausoni, but equally compelling. A wall of tannin hides a core of bright red berries, flowers, sweet herbs and licorice that will need at least several years of cellaring to fully emerge. This, too, possesses exceptional length and fabulous overall balance in a textured, captivating style for the year. With time in the glass, this positively explodes on the palate with layers of ripe fruit and structure, resulting in a fabulous wine that represents the epitome of finesse. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2027.   94/100
Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
A hugely impressive wine with an ocean of meatiness, red berried-fruit and a more dense soy sauce character too. Leathery and ripe, it's hard to ignore the mountain of tannin but this will come round with time, and promises to be a lesson in Piemontese refinement, even at this early stage in its life.   94/100

A balanced and fruity red, with a delicate strawberry and cedar character. Medium to full bodied, with firm tannins and a clean fresh finish. Pull the cork in 2015.   90/100
