The 2017 Marchesi di Gresy Barbaresco Riserva Camp Gros (Martinenga), from Piedmont, earned 97 points from James Suckling and 94 from both Antonio Galloni (Vinous) and Audrey Frick (Jeb Dunnuck).

The freshness and firmness of this young 2017 Barbaresco is impressive. Tight and reserved, but suggesting greatness, with cherries, dark cherries, dried flowers and crushed stones, and intense tannins. A wine for the cellar. - James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com (97 pts)

Give it five or six years of bottle age; try after 2027.

94 Points - Antonio Galloni, Vinous

“The 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Camp Gros Martinenga is a pretty dense, potent wine. That's probably a good thing for its long-term potential, although there is no getting around how hard the wine is to taste today. Even so, the 2017 shows terrific freshness for such a torrid year. Orange zest, cinnamon and dried rose petal build into the tense, classically austere finish. The 2017 is a gorgeous Camp Gros. (Drink between 2025-2037)”

94 Points - Audrey Frick, JebDunnuck.com

“The 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Camp Gros Martinenga is ripe with a bit darker tone, offering notes of anise, grenadine, and cedar. It is medium-bodied, with a firm core of fruit and earth, as well as freshness and a ripe tannin structure. Its notes of tea leaves, bergamot, and red cherry are long on the palate. Hold this another year and drink 2024-2040. (Drink between 2024-2040)”
