A little tight and acid-forward. Bright cherries, quite tannic. Not crazy about it. From Lema's

Over the hill. Drinkable, but unimpressive. Disappointing!

Not crazy about it, disappointing like the 2013 we've also had. Too much acid, lots of citrusy tartness with some dry-floral earthiness. Their nebbiolo have been very good, but need to start skipping the barbera. From Lema's.
