Great life for barbera with 10 years. A bit of Brett that blew off after an hour. Fresh and juicy still and easy to drink. Great with tomato anything.

Black cherry, charcoal and black liquorice dominate the nose, strucktured palate with plenty of dry black fruit, elegant but firm tannic structure but some juiciness on the finish. A big but elegant wine with plenty of live ahead of it and very suitable to stewed mead dishes (great value)

I forgot Delectable existed for a minute. I love this wine. Tuscan-ish scorched earth notes with ripe black cherry and licorice. Delish.
