Marchesi di Gresy Barbaresco Martinenga Camp Gros Riserva DOCG 2013

A wine of reserve and tension, the 2013 Barbaresco Riserva Camp Gros Martinenga is going to need at least a few years in bottle to be at its very best. Today, the Riserva Camp Gros Martinenga is somewhat unyielding, but also persistent and beautifully focused, with striking aromatics and a core of sweet, perfumed fruit that just needs time to emerge. Aeration in the glass brings out hints of lavender, sage, mint, and rose petals to round things out. Although it is embryonic, the 2013 clearly possesses tremendous balance and class, not to mention tons of potential.
