The 2009 Barbaresco Bricco San Giuliano is deceptive in its medium-bodied personality, but there is plenty of underlying tannin and structure. Tobacco, sweet herbs, plums and anise add complexity as this medium-bodied Barbaresco continues to open up in the glass. This is another solid, tasty Barbaresco from an up-and-coming producer who continues to impress. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019.
