Moccagatta, Barbaresco Basarin Vintage:2000 Consistent with the purity ofIncredibly rich, with masses of ripe fruit on the nose, from plum to blackberry, showing smoky oak undertones. Full bodied, with layers of silky, ripe tannins and a long, fruity, almost jammy finish. A real triumph. Moccagatta is a leader in Barbaresco right now, and this is one of the greatest wines ever from this producer. Best after 2010. 550 cases made. JS
