"93 out of 100...This offers aromas of blackberry, licorice and tar. Full-bodied, with very fine tannins and a long, caressing finish. Solid and tight. Sneaks up on you. Best after 2013. 460 cases made." - WS
"92 out of 100...The 2005 Barbaresco Curra is drop dead gorgeous. Like the Fausoni, it offers a profile of ripe red fruit, menthol, flowers and spices, but there is greater detail, clarity and precision here. With air suggestions of leather, tobacco and licorice develop, adding further complexity. The tannins build on the finish, suggesting the wine is in need of further cellaring. The use of French oak is masterful. Simply put, this is an outstanding effort. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2025." - WA
