Barbaresco Riserva Pora, Musso 2015

Bright medium red. Perfumed spicy red fruit, orange liqueur, sweet spices (mostly cinnamon and vanilla, plus a whisper of nutmeg) and minerals on the mesmerizing nose. Beautifully long and very complex, this boasts deep red cherry and spicy red berry flavours, complicated by a delicate herbaceousness adding further complexity on the long finish. Like a red berry cocktail with alcohol and a little bit of oak, this is just a fantastic wine that is best cellared for another five-six years to have it really showoff all its greatness. Musso first made the Pora Riserva in 1967, then again in 1971, 1974, 1978, and then, after a hiatus, started again in 2013, something all wine lovers should be immensely happy about.
