May 19th, 2015Cool wine. Nose dominated by leather and meat but with broad shoulders of plummy fruit and an underlying menthol cedar note. Much weightier than one would expect from a barbera. Does not have the tongue splitting acidity of most barberas but definitely refreshing. A bit of a barnyard note along with a refreshing bitterness on the finish with soft and slightly grippy tannins

Awesome nose of clove, nutmeg, leather, cigar box. Medium body, mildly tannic finish. Really excellent Barbera.
