This release of 2,820 bottles from a classic vintage shows a lot of depth and personality. Dark fruit and medium concentration give the Carlo Giacosa 2016 Barbaresco Riserva Luca power and overall presence. Dark berry notes cede to spice, tarry smoke and grilled herb. This is a nice, near-term Riserva with enough bright acidity on the close for a steak and mushroom dinner.

The 2010 Barbaresco Riserva Luca delivers ample power and a deep sense of inner structure. Like the other wines I tasted from Carlo Giacosa, acidity plays a prominent role. In fact, that freshness adds sensations of sourness and bitterness.

Even when I tasted this wine upon its commercial release, the fruit in the 2009 Barbaresco Riserva Luca was flat and lacking in energy. The wine offers layers of sweetness and stickiness with cherry liqueur and crème de cassis.
