"Leather, truffle, grilled herb, purple flower and perfumed berry aromas take shape in this fragrant red. The vibrant palate is loaded with finesse, delivering red cherry, cranberry, cinnamon and clove flavors while nervous acidity and youthfully assertive, refined tannins provide support and balance. A star anise note wraps up the finish. Drink 2022–2034." -KO, 10/1/2017

"Compared to the Tre Stelle, the 2014 Barbaresco Rio Sordo seems to have a slightly riper quality of fruit. The difference is minimal but it makes sense given that the heat during the 2014 vintage all came toward the very end of the growing season. This beautiful wine is bold and slightly more robust with dark cherry and red currant. It is also more marked in terms of tannins and structure. Only 1,500 bottles were made." -ML, 8/31/2017
