Harmoniously balanced

It was not made after the previous harvest

it is an extraordinarily well-delineated Syrah that should hit its prime in 10-12 years

with a salty minerality that sets the stage for fleshy red and black fruit

Those vintages are old enough to offer plenty of complexity

Punset, Barbaresco other_regions_australia Harmoniously balancedThe 2011 Barbaresco shows the signs of a warm vintage. The bouquet offers slightly jammy aromas with blackberry and prune backed by clove, licorice and white pepper. This is a difficult wine to gauge because it could fall flat sooner rather than later. Yet, Punset's wines usually improve greatly with age so there may well be more surprises in store.
