Note di degustazione
Marchesi di Grésy's 1999 Barbaresco Camp Gros is now close to fully mature. Despite its big, broad-shouldered frame, the Camp Gros is the most forward of the three 1999s, which is a bit out of character for a wine that ususally is the last to unwind in this range. Hints of sweet tobacco, menthol, black cherries, plums and rosemary add the final notes of complexity. Any remaining bottles need to be finished off over the next 2-3 years.

The 1999 Barbaresco Camp Gros, the product of a vintage in which the vineyards were battered by hail, shows in its unusual power the tiny yields which were harvested. Medium garnet, with expansive and penetrating aromas of red currants, eucalyptus, tar, and wild fennel, it is the fullest of the three, the densest and most enveloping in texture, the most solid and yet the sweetest and most sensual. It is more approachable than Gaiun, but may well last longer, and should provided excellent drinking from 2005 to 2018. Importer: Dalla Terra, Napa, CA; tel. (707) 259-5405
Deep medium red. Cherry, plum, coffee and menthol on the nose. Rich and smooth but unevolved, even austere today. But this is quite stylish, with lovely vinosity framing and extending the fruit. Finishes with late-hitting tannins and subtle sweetness.
