The 1996 Barbaresco Sori Paitin exhibits terrific fruit intensity, along with toasty pain grille in the flamboyant aromatics. In addition to oak, there is plenty of tobacco leaf, jammy cherries, and dried herbs. Full-bodied, round, luscious, and accessible, this Barbaresco should drink well for a decade.
