Not bad but this is a big and extracted style of Barbera. Higher level of oak usage than typical, so the fruit characteristics are a bit more secondary than preferred. Not for me, as the acidity wasn’t higher to match. Not flabby, but kind of reverse typicity of higher tannin, lower acidity than normal.
