de Saint-Gall, Orpale Blanc de Blancs Vintage:2004 The 2007 Barbaresco Riserva Starderi

The 2007 Barbaresco Riserva Starderi (Magnum) immediately flaunts the density and important structure that is associated with this celebrated vineyard site

An attractively fresh nose is comprised of extract of plum and dark pinot fruit that is liberally laced with floral and spice nuances that are trimmed in subtle oak hints

fading cherry and floral flavors matched to a moderately firm structure

Drink 2017-2027

as expected

de Saint-Gall, Orpale Blanc de Blancs Vintage:2004 The 2007 Barbaresco Riserva StarderiThis is a beautifully mature Champagne, with ripe Chardonnay from the Ctes de Blancs now just hinting at toastiness. The wine's freshness is still apparent so that the balance with maturity is just right. Drink this fine wine now, but also age. Roger Voss
