"The 2005 Barbaresco Asili is classic Asili. Silky, aromatic and light on its feet, the 2005 is a terrific opening wine for this dinner. Crushed red berry fruit, rose petals and a touch of blood orange are all beautifully lifted. The 2005 is all grace and all class. It will drink well for another 10-15 years, if not more." -Antonio Galloni

"This is delicate at first, but then turns to a solid, tannic and structured red, with loads of plum and light toasty oak. It's all on the finish. Give this time to show what it has. Best after 2013."
