Floral, lifted and exquisitely beautiful, the 2013 speaks to regal elegance and finesse above all else. Silky tannins add to an impression of total sensuality. At this stage, there is almost no impression of tannin, as the wine is so impeccably balanced. The 2013 shuts down quickly in the glass, which may suggest it is headed for a long period of dormancy. Readers who can find the Asili should not miss it, as it is truly sublime. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nRP96 Here is a wine with a long and promising future ahead. The 2013 Barbaresco Riserva Asili is a Nebbiolo that boasts the tannic tightness, acidity and compact fruit flavors you look for when assessing a wine's potential for cellar longevity. This vintage delivers encouraging results on all fronts. The mouthfeel is firm, compact and ready to loosen with time. The bouquet is both generous and dramatic with dark fruit followed by spice, smoke and an attractive mineral footprint. The finish is dry and almost salty, thanks to those lingering tones of brimstone and pencil shaving. The 2013 growing season saw a late harvest, and this helped to achieve full tannic and flavor ripeness. Hold off from drinking this wine for at least 5 years but preferably more. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nDR96 One of the cooperative’s nine MGA bottlings, the Asili is composed of grapes from three grower members from a total of 2.28 hectares. Just starting to reveal itself, the 2013 emerges with autumnal scents of chestnut and hazelnut, then pressed wildflower and poignantly pure red cherry as it unfurls. Sweet forest berries through the mid-palate are securely girdled by steely tannins, with an intense strawberry essence finish. It's commanding and all-encompassing, yet that bracing acidity keeps it effortlessly afloat. Sculpted and refined, this is true to vintage and place. A wonderful representation of Asili.
