"The stunning, dark plum/ruby-colored, deep, full-bodied 1998 Barbaresco Bric Turot is layered with smoky black fruit, graphite, new saddle leather, and vanilla aromas. Rich and concentrated, with sweet tannin, it will be at its finest between 2003-2015."

Rating for Italy-Piedmont: 92 (slightly better than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: too young, let it sit<br/>
