96 KO / 94 WS / 93+ VM

Rose, menthol, forest floor and leather aromas come to the forefront along with the barest whiff of asphalt. Full-bodied and structured, the palate delivers raspberry, blood orange, licorice and a minty note alongside firm, fine-grained tannins. Drink 2029–2044. Abv: 14.5% Kerin

Rich and deep, revealing a darker expression of fruit, the 2019 Muncagota evokes black cherry and black currant. It's a tad brooding and dense, with fine length and more breadth to its tannins. There is some power here, but also reserve, and a long aftertaste -Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator

The 2019 Barbaresco Riserva Muncagota is shaping up to be gorgeous. The 2019 is marked by a very evident brightness that is not always present. Medium in body and gracious, with terrific balance, the Muncagota is very impressive in this early tasting of the 2019 Riservas. It could turn out to be one of the surprises in this range. Keep an eye on this.-Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
