Medium bodied, black fruited, savoury dry finish, slight diluteness and anise/menthol after taste that gives it a medicinal dimension that keeps it from rating higher. 9.50€/$14

Woody. Definitely elegant and inoffensive, but a bit more rustic and pleasantly abrasive when first opened.

Slightly acidic without food but good companion with tomato based entree. OK but we've had better Barberas

Good! Not fruity. Definitely would get again. Good cork. Bottle was a little cheap but still embossed.
