Juicy, clearly new world Barbera. VA all over the place, so if that's not your favorite thing, this won't be either. I like a little VA, but this was over the line for me. YMMV.

Really not for me. I tried decanting it but I think it just may need way more time to soften. Very harsh. Good fruit there but hard to get past the bite.
