Ceretto Bricco Asili, Barbaresco, Faset 1985 Burgundy Rouge Beautiful ruby in colour

Beautiful ruby in colour

Red fruit on the palate

this continues to be one knockout Chambolle as it's superbly elegant in every respect with its stylish pinot fruit

full of layered complexity too

but still very enjoyable and in a great spot here

Ceretto Bricco Asili, Barbaresco, Faset 1985 Burgundy Rouge Beautiful ruby in colourBase of neck 92 CellarTracker From a double magnum purchased about 25 years ago and properly stored. Astonishingly fresh at age 40, with a pristine fragrant Nebbiolo nose. Light ruby in color. Drinking perfectly, displaying a medium body, red fruit profile, and supporting but not intrusive tannin. The wine only got better over the next three hours. Surely the large format allowed this graceful evolution. There were 8 happy people around the table. 10
