Critics Ratings
'The 1998 is the last Barbaresco Santo Stefano Giacosa bottled as a Riserva. For years, the 1998 flew under the radar, likely a victim of a vintage that at the time was considered very good, but not great. Dried cherry, star anise, pomegranate, dried rose petal and deeply spiced notes are some of the signatures. The 1998 is deep, fleshy and quite giving in personality. In any tasting, there are bound to be wines that don't show as well as they can. In this vertical, it is the 1998. This is a fine bottle, but I have had better.' - Antonio Galloni Vinous.com 94/100 (2017)
