plum and salty soy elements

The medium-bodied palate is powerful and fresh with concentrated flavors and bright sparks of citrus and floral character

This is also very clearly built-to-age and I wouldn’t dream of touching a bottle for at least 10 years and it should easily reward 20

and it finishes very long

Piero Busso, Barbaresco Albesani Borgese Size:6x750ml plum and salty soy elementsThe 2020 Barbaresco Albesani Vigna Borgese is a potent, structured wine. Given its imposing tannins, I would give it a few years to come together. Chalk, mint, dried flowers and sweet red cherries open gradually, and 2020 remains quite reticent.
