The 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Camp Gros Martinenga is a pretty dense potent wine. That's probably a good thing for its long-term potential although there is no getting around how hard the wine is to taste today. Even so the 2017 shows terrific freshness for such a torrid year. Orange zest cinnamon and dried rose petal build into the tense classically austere finish. The 2017 is a gorgeous Camp Gros. (Drink between 2025-2037)
