Score 91/100 · Drink 2013-2019, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Oct 2008

The 2005 Barbaresco Borgese flows onto the palate with generous candied cherries, menthol, pine, and spices. This mid-weight Barbaresco shows a level of clarity and transparency that I don't recall seeing here in the past. There is outstanding depth here, with well-integrated tannins and a long, refreshing finish. This is a terrific showing from Piero Busso.
