it's still brooding and tannic

multi-layered

I wouldn't be surprised to see it surpassing its brawnier elder sibling

The wines seem to have an added level of nuance and finesse to complement the richness they have always shown

That will be subsumed in time

Bruno Rocca, Barbaresco Curra 2020 750ML ItalianWines2026 it's still brooding and tannicThe 2020 Barbaresco Curr is redolent of kirsch, chalk, white pepper, dried herbs and mint. Aromatic and yet deep, with terrific balance, the 2020 is very nicely done. Most importantly the 2020 does not have the hard edges that are sometimes found in wines from this site. Bright saline accents drive the persistent, deceptively understated finish. I very much like the translucent finesse here.
