Score 91-92/100 · Drink 2002-2016, Robert Parker, Aug 1999

The 1996 Barbaresco Curra Vigne Masue is expansive, full-bodied, and concentrated. The wine displays a dark ruby color, as well as an explosive nose of cherry liqueur, incense, dried herbs, smoke, cedar, and soy. Full-bodied, dense, and powerful, with fabulous concentration, and a sweet, layered mid-palate and finish, this large-scaled, mouth-coating Barbaresco will be at its finest between 2002-2016.

Very good deep red. Complex, lively aromas of plum, cherry and dried flowers. Sweet and strong, with lively inner mouth flavor. Deep but quite backward. Here the substantial tannins are sweeter and the fruit comes through on the aftertaste. An excellent showing.
