The 2008 Barbaresco Tradizione shows off attractive sweet red berries, crushed rose petals and spices. There is excellent density on the mid-palate, especially for the year. With a little more polish to the tannins, this might very well merit a higher score. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018. Importer: Wine Wave, Jericho, NY; tel. (516) 433-1121
