Raisin/oxidized nose, softer than the '18, more minerality, tannins... very nice!

Oxidized nose, like a port, raisiny taste... very port-like without the syrup-iness

2013 Braida Bricco Della Bigotta Barbera d’Asti. Dark fruit on the front, nice tannins. Not a lot of tertiary notes. Prob great with a fatty steak or pork. We drank with a spiced beef dish (koobideh). Maybe meant to have been drunk sooner. Didn’t decant, served straight out of bottle.
