The 1989 Barbaresco offers explosively supple, ripe, rich fruit in a full-bodied format. It is an opulent style of Barbaresco for drinking over the next 7-10 years. Cortese's sexy, dramatic, flashy style of Barbaresco is well-displayed in both the 1989 and 1990 vintages. Both are forward, evolved wines, with super bouquets of cherries, herbs, cedar, and underbrush. These are gorgeously flattering, rich Barbarescos for consumers or restaurants that lack the patience to wait for some of the more muscular, tannic wines from these two vintages to reach maturity.
