Holy cow, delectable users way/way underrated this wine, or perhaps the vintage is the differentiator. Absolutely magnificent, but I decanted too long, 4 hours. Was vibrant at the start, but dinner was four hours away. Super soft tannins in the end, luscious fruit and tight acidic finish. One of my favorite barbera experiences.

Outstanding big body wine. It needs pairing with red meat or cheese, but at ten years it's showing very well. Great acidity and tobacco depth.
