The 2008 Barbaresco Bricco San Giuliano comes across as somewhat fragile and advanced. Sweet red cherries, mint, tobacco and crushed flowers are some of the notes that emerge from this mid-weight Barbaresco. The 2008 is pretty easygoing next to some of the stronger recent vintages. My impression is that there is quite a bit of untapped potential at Pelissero. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016. Importer: Massanois Imports, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 470-6769
