Bruno Giacosa, Barbaresco Asili, 2001 tbo The 2021 Joseph Roty Charmes Chambertin NYC SOU `986518` 110923 375ml2 The 2021 Joseph Roty Charmes Chambertin Rouge Grand Cru “Très Vieilles Vignes” is an extraordinary Pinot Noir graphite and iron end of Saint Julien rather than the perfumed end Asili sits on the southwest facing slope of Barbaresco village and gives wines built on floral lift rather than brute power — and Giacosa's hand has always brought out the cru's most aromatic side so it's the standard cuvée rather than the long aged Riserva — but a 2001 Giacosa Barbaresco at twenty four years is still the kind of wine that stops conversation when it hits the glass
