95+ AG. "Pelissero's 2011 Barbaresco Tulin impresses for its crystalline purity. Bright veins of chalky salinity support the fruit in a drop-dead gorgeous, vibrant Barbaresco built on energy and nuance. An exotic finish laced with hints of tangerine peel, rose petal, anise and spices rounds things out beautifully. This is one of the most polished, graceful wines I have ever tasted from Giorgio Pelissero. Giorgio Pelissero's 2011 Barbarescos are some of the very best wines I have ever tasted here. The wines have texture, depth and resonance to spare, yet remain impeccably balanced. As always, the Vanotu is the most overt of the wines. In the warm, precocious 2011 vintage, I have a slight preference for the Nubiola and Tulin, but all three Barbarescos are terrific." Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com, Jul 2014 |
