The 2019 Barbaresco Tre Stelle is attractive, but also a touch lean and austere, possibly the result of its relatively recent bottling. Sweet dried cherry, leather, spice, licorice and pipe tobacco emerge, but only with great reluctance. Even so, the 2019 has enough depth to drink well for another decade plus. The ethereal, gracious style is quite appealing, but I would prefer to see more depth on the mid-palate.
