Punset 2012 San Cristoforo Campo Quadro (Barbaresco)

Country: Italy / San Cristoforo Campo Quadro
Variety: Nebbiolo Piedmont
Winery: Punset / Barbaresco

This has an unusual mix of aromas, from Asian spice and menthol to weedy underbrush and celery. The muddled palate is slightly fizzy, suggesting sweet and sour sauce, oak-driven spice and dried fruit. Bracing tannins leave a lean, raspy finish.
