Sort of disappointed with this bottle. Not as lucious and fruity as I remembered it. More Pinot noir style, mineral, high in acids. Still nicely integrated, hint of tanine

One of the nicer, more acid-driven and energetic Barberas I've had today.

Purple floral and spice on the nose. Blackberries, blueberries, creamy raspberries, cherries, a hint of dark chocolate, oak and a semi dry purple floral finish.
