2005. Lush nose of dark cherries. Palate is concentrated sour cherry & orange peel. Racy acidity! Bottle signed by @DamonteRoberto

Off the charts. Complex, aged Barbera. One of the best I've had.

Rich Italian dark cherries permeate this luscious bouquet with a slight hint of Valencia oranges. Sour cherries, spices and a slight orange sweetness that rounds off a smooth and balanced finish! 16 years old and who would thought it would be so spectacular? That’s right- those Italians did!!

Well rounded wine, but lacking complexity.
