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.

Rotting berries and cherry juice, I don't know why I want to call this "fluffy" on the mid palate but there you go.

Correct, pas plus pour moi dans ma palette. Terreux. Bien et complexe au début, en respirant moins intéressant.

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.
