95 WA. "The 2001 Barbera d’Alba Pozzo, as in the past, has very few rivals for the title of heavyweight champion of Piedmont (or maybe the world as far as this grape is concerned). An impenetrable, blackish ruby, its soaring nose of sweet plum fruit and chocolate, spice, and smoke, and with a rarely encountered perfection of ripeness, is superbly broad, dense, and voluminous in flavor. Its concentration and weight, its caressing, deep-pile tannins and length of flow, will guarantee exceptional drinking . . ." Daniel Thomases, Wine Advocate #160, Aug 2005 |
