The 2003 Barbaresco Nubiola, made from the estate’s younger vines, opens with an attractive perfumed nose. It is a mid-weight Barbaresco showing plenty of classic bright red fruit and menthol flavors in a very ripe, candied style. Though it offers good underlying structure, the finish is dominated by the hard, unripe tannins of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2013.
