Now that’s Barbera d’Alba Superiore in excelsior! Liquid black plums and some tar on the nose. Inhale deeply and you get some Asian spices on the fringes.
That palate…oh my. Liquid velvet. Dark as midnight. Plums, licorice, nice acidity,
deep, long, long, finish. Some minerals on the end.
Wowza!
Possibly better than her Barolo. Gulp.

I liked it, though it wasn’t terribly complex. A good dinner accompaniment — 4 years ago

Stunner. Apple and pear compote. Preserved lemon. Leesy. Seaside mineral. Resolved and interesting, also vibrant and young, even — 10 months ago

It’s 95F outside, and it’s the end of the workweek. Does this can taste of heirloom cider apples, slightly sweet (no, call it “almost dry”) and kick ass at 8.5% alc/vol? Yes, yes indeed it does. Another superior cider from Schilling. Why can’t the national brands match this level of quality? Why indeed... — 3 years ago

Minerals excelsior!
N:Peaches and rockks, apricots, all just this side of ripe. Cantaloupe lurking in the background, lemons, straw.
P: Quince, citrus, nice acidity (lots), lip puckering with the minerals still present.
Delicious with pork sausages over rhubarb & chard.
