Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Wow! Love this! Fontanafredda 2014 Barbaresco is made from 100% Nebbiolo. A pretty pale garnet colour with a gorgeous brick rum. The aromatic bouquet suggests pomegranate, leather rose petals and delicate dust. Flavours echo many of these elements with heat spices, smoked paprika, dried oregano and crisp minerals at the back with a whisper of tobacco and red berries persisting. Velvety clean tannins, M (+) acidity with a medium body and finish. Beautifully done. A suitable pairing for braised duck breast and mushroom risotto. 92 points - tasted January 2019

Natalie's Review

Fontanafredda Barbaresco 2014, D.O.C.G., Italy: A lovely, mature northern Italian red wine made from the vibrant, mouth-watering Nebbiolo grape. The vines are planted in calcareous marly clays. The wine is aged in oak barrels for two years. Aromas of tanned leather, smoke, cigar box and dried red berries. Almost full-bodied. Perfect for lamb. Drink: 2018-2022. 631077 13.50% D 750 mL $32.95 Score: 92/100. February 28, 2019 Top Rated Red Wine. Full Review

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
