Dark Red. Youthful notes of leather, cherry and almonds. Medium bodied with soft tannins. Good but not great. Tasted again on 26 Nov 2016 with consistent notes. A good representation of Barbera from the warmer 2011 vintage.

It’s not bad. But it’s nowhere close to very good. Just barely good. A C+ grade. Easy to drink, and nice acidity. But otherwise no notable traits.
