Asili Riserva 100 KO / 96 WS
The drop-dead gorgeous Barbaresco 2019 Asili Riserva from the Produttori del Barbaresco stuns with its extreme finesse and heady scents of wild rose, red berry, camphor, leather and brown spice. Full-bodied and vibrant, the elegant, linear palate delivers red cherry, blood orange, star anise and ground clove alongside youthfully tight but extremely refined tannins. Bright acidity keeps it impeccably balanced and energized, lending great tension. It's a superb expression of this celebrated site and the fantastic vintage. An absolute stunner. Drink 2029-2044. Abv: 14.5% Kerin O'Keefe I find Asili always the most elegant and linear of the range. The 2019 Asili displays bright strawberry, cherry and orange peel flavors, very vertical and sleek. This has fine structure and finesse; it's the most closed of the range at this stage, but it's long, with terrific potential -Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator

Montefico Riserva 98 KO / 95 WS
Alpine herb, pressed rose, new leather and black tea aromas lead the nose on the superb Montefico 2019 Riserva. Showing the impeccable class and intensity this cru is celebrated for, it's youthfully austere but also incredibly savory. The firmly structured palate delivers ripe red cherry, raspberry compote, licorice, almond liqueur and saline mineral notes accompanied by a firm backbone of tightly-woven, close-grained tannins. Bright acidity gives it great aging potential. Drink 2029-2044. Abv: 14.5% Kerin O'Keefe Montefico faces south-southeast, with cool winds from the north. The high level of calcium in the soil contributes assertive tannins and an austere character. The 2019 Montefico exhibits ripe cherry and raspberry flavors, rich, yet with a swath of dense, dusty tannins underneath, leaving a chalky feel on the finish. Overall, there's fine energy and persistence, with an underlying mineral component-Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator

Rabaja Riserva 97 KO / 96 WS / 94 VM
Balsamic aromas of camphor mingle with pressed rose, wild berry, new leather and dark spice. Showing intensity and structure, the full-bodied, delicious palate boasts a weightless concentration, delivering fleshy raspberry, blood orange, almond liqueur and licorice alongside tightly woven, velvety tannins. Fresh acidity lifts the rich flavors and provides great balance. Drink 2028-2039. Abv: 14.5% Kerin O'Keefe The 2019 Rabajà is round and deep, with a beam of pure cherry, along the line of Pora and Rio Sordo, but it delivers more power and structure. This is complex, with a saline, mineral element, and it's super long -Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator The 2019 Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà is redolent of dark fruit, crushed rocks, graphite, sage, menthol and lavender all race across the palate, supported by bracing, young Rabajà tannins that make themselves felt. This mid-weight, powerhouse Barbaresco packs quite a punch.-Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
