Score 91/100 · Drink 2001-2016, Robert Parker, Jun 2001

The dark garnet-colored 1997 Barbaresco Vigna Masue-Curra exhibits aromas of soy, smoke, asphalt, black cherries, and incense, unreal opulence, huge levels of glycerin, plenty of power, a sweet, expansive palate impression, gorgeous purity, and loads of fruit, glycerin, and alcohol. Buried beneath all that is some serious tannin, but it is not causing the wine to shut down or taste astringent. It should firm up in the bottle and drink well for 14-15 years.
