Verkostungsnotizen
Vinous 91
To partner the Anjou Pigeon you are going to need a red that is built for the task. The 2015 Barbaresco Vursu Vigneto Starderi from La Spinetta does just the job. Kirsch, raspberry coulis and touches of pine burst from the nose, maybe lacking a bit of grace, but does a sterling job in coping with the intensity of the pigeon. The palate is predictably rich, yet retains a sense of balance, maybe missing a bit of typicite, and with a bold finish that does not feel excessive. That bottle age might have tempered its nascent exuberance. This Barbaresco is drinking very well with several years of pleasure to give.
Anticipated maturity: 2022-2036
