Molino Barbaresco Teorema 2017
Barbaresco!! Oh ho ho, MAN!! This has been torturous waiting to unleash this staggering deal, a wine we are UBER-passionate about….it’s got it ALL, astonishing price, huge score (95 POINTS!), the hyper-cool Molino family and mostly this OUTrageously good, silky, packed and instantly-fall-in-love new release. WOW!
OK. We definitely have a special place in our hearts for Barbaresco in general, and as you’ve likely heard us rant and rave, it does truly represent one of the finest values and bang-for-buck regions on this planet right now. NEBBIOLO! ….at its finest...lightweight, but oh-so flavorful and charming and DIGable!! YES!!!
Collectors, those who are dipping toes into the region, and savvy Nebbiolo hipsters, GET THIS. OK. Like a great afternoon shredding the freshies in the pow-pow with the Beastie Boys cranking in the headphones, you just can’t put a price on the deep, satisfying pleasure to be had here with this new release...we might say the best ever from them. Gorgeous perfumey tea leaf, the ineffable whiff of earthy truffle, swinging into smooth, almost creamy blue fruits, dried rose petal, even mint...very “correct” for the grape and wonderfully drinkable even now, although it is an infant, really. Rock ON! While it lasts...and it won’t….
Ruby red colour with very intensive garnet red reflections. Fine, elegant perfume with notes of red fruits and withered flowers, such as violet and rose. You can feel some fresh notes of eucalyptus and mint. The aging in different woods results in a full-bodied and velvety wine, enhanced by sweet tannins which reveal a spicy finish.
