The Elvio Cogno 2020 Barbaresco Bordini (with 8,000 bottles made) shows extra power and heft in terms of its fruit delivery. This hot-vintage expression offers medium fruit texture with a classic presentation of cherry, redcurrant, licorice, blue flower and spice. It needs a few more years of bottle age, but we're not too far off from optimal drinking.

A bright, well-defined red, this exhibits cherry, strawberry, licorice and wild herb aromas and flavors. Supple in texture, this firms up nicely, with finely wrought tannins and a lingering aftertaste. Best from 2026 through 2042. 830 cases made, 250 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbaresco Select to Add
