2000 Stefano Farina Barbaresco -- a fun drink; big floral nose of violets and plum; full throttle plum juice, hints of licorice; fresh, clean, medium-length finish. On the simple but enthusiastic side. Not much tannin, and enough acidity to keep it refreshing with food. App. 87-8 pts. A good quaffer for immediate drinking, but unfortunately priced too high for that role at C$43.
