The 2007 Barbaresco Bric Turot is a rich, sensual wine packed with dark fruit. It is a seamless, generous wine very much in the style of the year. Tobacco and cinnamon are some of the nuances that emerge on the mid-palate, adding complexity and multi-dimensionality. The Bric Turot needs time in the glass to open up. This is a powerful style of Barbaresco with terrific depth and richness. Only a slight dryness in the tannin detracts from the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2022. This is an impressive set of wines from Prunotto. From top to bottom, every wine in this lineup is well worth considering. It would be nice to see Prunotto take their outstanding Baroli and Barbareschi to the next level. Given the quality of their vineyards and the significant resources of the Antinori family these should be truly profound wines. A Leonardo Lo Cascio Selection, Winebow, Montvale, NJ; tel.
