](/en/wines/red/barbaresco-docg-ricu/),

The review then analyzes the taste development, pointing out that *"mirroring the nose, the oak-driven palate offers coconut, vanilla and toasted nut but not much fruit"*, before concluding by outlining an austere texture where *"drying, close-grained tannins clench the lean, extremely astringent finish"*.
