Vinous
Review Date: 10/2025The 2010 Barbaresco Riserva Quindicianni is a powerful, virile wine. Leather, dried herbs, tobacco, incense and licorice add to an initial impression of savory/earthy intensity. I am not sure the tannins will ever fully soften here. (AG)

Notes
The 2010 "Quindicianni" is a powerful and virile masterpiece, defined by the legendary 2010 vintage and an extraordinary 15-year aging process before release (5 years in cask and 10 in bottle). The nose is an intense and earthy "symphony," offering deep aromas of leather, tobacco, and licorice layered with notes of incense, dried herbs, and dark fruit. On the palate, it is virile and structured, balancing a savory-earthy intensity with firm, muscular tannins that retain a remarkable youthful grip. The finish is long and brooding, showing a complex mineral depth and balsamic nuances. A rare, "patient" wine that captures the massive potential of the 2010 vintage with the sophisticated tertiary development of a true library release.
