‘The 2015 Barbaresco Riserva Pora is just as radiant and seductive as it was a few months ago. Plush and sumptuous in the glass, the 2015 Pora captures all of the natural intensity of the year. Even with all of its lush fruit, the Pora has plenty of structural underpinnings beneath. Succulent dark cherry, plum, espresso, menthol and licorice notes flesh out in this forward, wonderfully inviting Riserva from the Produttori. In 2015, the Pora is a real overachiever. Best of all, it should drink well with minimal cellaring’ – 93 points. Antonio Galloni, Vinous.
‘Gary Walsh: Almond, a bit diffuse, but good red fruit and more gentle tannin, more breathy and less line, but still nice. Just not on the top shelf, maybe. Mineral finish though. And powerful and cool as it goes. 94 Points
Mike Bennie: Impressive perfume and general feel, a lot of detail, power, concentration and drive in this wine. Incredibly complex, detail Barbaresco, sinewy tannins in a lacy sheath, red currants, cherry, rose hip tea and smoky herbs all jostling. Big impact in the palate, power and yet grace the general comment. Big tannin, fine though, a wine that imprints itself strongly. The most athletic of these 2015 releases. 94 Points.’ – The Wine Front
