From the 2004 vintage. Single-vineyard Barbera; 10 years in barrel. Still tasted youthful and quite intense.

Intense, big - almost Nebbiolo like - aromas & structure, slightly lower in Tannin. Also massive expression and super youthful.

Oh yes. Barbera aged 10 years in botti. ABNormal indeed... and awesome.

One of the only Rosenthal Imports wines I have ever seen with a winemaker statement on the back label. Quite young for "non-vintage" juice from almost a decade ago!
