The 1995 Barbaresco Coparossa is a sexy, opulently-styled wine with elements of garrigue (an earthy/herb melange), cedar, coffee, smoke, and jammy fruit. Round and opulently-styled, with a lush texture, a forward, evolved personality, and fine glycerin and depth, this alluring Barbaresco can be drunk now and over the next 6-7 years.

Ripe and concentrated yet very elegant and racy, it bursts with floral, violet and rose petal aromas, tastes of blackberry and wet earth. The thick texture remains fresh and vibrant on the lingering finish. Of medium body, with firm tannins. Best from 2003 through 2010.??–PM??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbaresco Select to Add
