Barbaresco Reyna Michele Chiarlo 2016 (750ML)

92 Points, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate: "The 2016 Barbaresco Reyna represents a blend of fruit from various vineyard sites. The Michele Chiarlo estate owns seven hectares of Nebbiolo in Barbaresco, and this wine is conceived as an expression of a grape, rather than any one particular vineyard site. In fact, the wine is classic Barbaresco, with fine fruit flavors followed by slightly more accessible or silky tannin (when compared to Barolo), making it a great pairing with a grilled sirloin." 6/19

93 Points, James Suckling, Vinous: " A ripe and fruity red with plum and berry aromas and flavors. Lots of citrus rind and cherries. Full body, round and velvety tannins and a flavorful finish. Drink from 2022." 4/19.

92 Points, Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator: "Menthol and eucalyptus aromas and flavors mark this intense red, picking up cherry, plum and sweet spice notes as this builds to a lingering finish. Dusty tannins and a cocoa accent line the aftertaste. Best from 2023 through 2036." 02/20

94 Points, Kerin O'Keefe, Wine Enthusiast: [Cellar Selection] "This opens with earthy aromas of leather, forest floor, game and balsamic notes of camphor. The elegant, taut palate evokes dried cherry, cranberry, fennel and tobacco alongside tightly knit tannins and vibrant acidity. Give it time to fully develop. Drink 2024-2036." 09/19.
