Score 90/100 · Drink 2001-2011, Robert Parker, Oct 2001

An earthy concoction, with the addition of vegetable root, plum, and cherry characteristics is found in the 1998 Barbaresco Vigna Musue-Curra. Its soft, velvety-textured, black fruit flavors reveal a distinctive spicy earthiness along with notes of leather. Drink this outstanding effort over the next 8-10 years.

Good medium-deep red. Superripe but reticent aromas of clove, nuts and marzipan; showing less primary fruit today than the Pajore and Cotta bottlings. Supersweet and dense but quite backward. Finishes with big, dusty tannins. This will require patience.
