Lovely nose of licorice, plum and wild mint. Ripe and very expressive. Terrific aromas. Bright and lifted and expansive. Lovely layers and dustiness. Palate is juicy and bright but it seems to have some heat sticking out and it’s disjointed. Maybe it will come together?
It did not come together.

Mar 15th, 2023Oh wow is what I said when I initially sniffed this. Huge Barbera fruit. Red and blue and black berries. Gorgeous spice. So fine and so nuanced. Just a tremendous nose. Shows the potential of 19. Wow, what balance, juiciness and purity. Perfect balance. Nice and grippy tannins that frame the fruit perfectly. Great concentration, depth and freshness. Such a great Barbera and also something I think will age for 5-7 years.

Sep 14th, 2021Gorgeous nose. Ripe berries, smoke, raspberry, some flowers and a dash of minerals and earth. Insane brightness yet also seems deep. Palate is fresh as a daisy with gorgeous berry and cherry fruit and terrific freshness and energy. Terrific velvet tannins and terrific finishing mineralIty. Very clean, linear and good. Terrifically juicy and gains body and weight as it opens up.
