The 2003 Barbaresco Vanotu is the most successful of these wines. On the nose it reveals toasted oak and sweet fruit nuances. Boasting plenty of concentration in its super-ripe dark fruit, tar and licorice flavors, this full-bodied Barbaresco has plenty of stuffing as well as length to stand up to its tannins. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2016.
