diep rood, veel vanille en hout in de neus, ook nog wat rijp rood fruit, smaak is zacht en vloeiend, iets te dominant houtgebruik haalt wat frisheid uit de wijn

rode kleur, aantrekkelijke neus, chocolade, koffie, rijp rood fruit, pruimen, bramen, het houtgebruik komt nu wat op de achtergrond, smaak is soepel en zacht, veel structuur en met een mooie donkere indruk, gepolijste wijn

This was super luscious with bitter chocolate covered cherries, light rose, basil, leather with a nice tangy acidic finish. Great with spaghetti pie.

Really simple, but delicious wine. It smells just like blackberry pie, and the flavors are ripe but balanced. This is not a wine to think about though. It pairs excellently with marinara sauce based foods.

I very much enjoyed the '05 so was looking for an appropriate occasion to try this new release '06. The aroma is not complex but favors black fruits and shows integrated. It is richer and more concentrated than the average barbera with a round middle palate and satisfying finish. It has excellent balance after a little air and medium acidity. Slightly one dimensional fruit but it makes a very good overall impression and is nice at the table. Received favorable comments from family who usually just talk, eat, drink and get on with it.

like biting into a piece of blackberry pie, a bit to sweet. Bit of chocolate and coffee on the finish.

Black currants and cherry, with hints of caramel machhiado. Jammy and tasty!

Somewhat tightly wound, showing lots of licorice and root beer on the nose and palate, as well as sour cherry.

Direct and straightforward, showing raspberries and cherry with tobacco and vanilla mixed. Not a wine with great depth or complexity.

Quite tight right now, with very young nose, but the palate has lots of vibrant fruit, and I think this will be quite enjoyable with 6 months time. Even now, it drinks better then an average barbera. 87-89

Cherry, some plum, spice, fennel. Plenty of acid and tannin worked well with the food; cherry, cola. Surprisingly long.

Good acid, spicey wine. A bright cherry color. Light with strawberry, raspberry fruit as well as hint of pepper. Not as complex as I expected. Decanted it for an half hour.

Burghound in Asia (DRC vs the World Blind Tasting) (St Regis, Brasserie Les Saveurs): A hard wine with quite an extracted style, and rather clinical.

Post DRC-tasting Dinner (Jade Palace, Forum Galleria): Not undrinkable, but mediocre. After a couple of really solid Barberas in the past few months, this was a reminder of how the appellation got saddled with a reputation for poor wines. Sweet, modern, candied on the nose, with maraschino cherry on the forefront and not much more in the background. More cherries on the palate, lots of acidity and a touch of mineral in there, which made it a bit less one-note than the nose, but it was the sweetness of the fruit that stood out. Meh.

This wine is ridiculously young. It has a gorgeous purple color to it. And while it is so very pretty, with light almost non existent tannins, along with streams of beautiful fruit, it's going to be better in 6 months, I think. It has that new wine taste and texture, like it's not completely out of the package. This doesn't mean it's not gorgeous, and a ridiculous steal... This could break 90 in half a year. Must retaste then...

7 days in Italy.; 6/16/2012-6/22/2012 (Italy): Six months in large casks, 12 months in bottle. More cherry, herb and spice vs the Dolcetto. More fruit too. Herb and spice palate on a very glass-y texture.

The nose showed an attractive mix of wild berries, meaty, savory sauce and pepper. On the palate, it was intense with red berries verses soft cleansing acidity that kept this balanced. It was a nice, simple Barbera, not assuming yet very pleasant.

100% estate grown and 100% barbera. Named after the second generation which was four boys. Aged six months in large oak barrels. Fruity, soft, well concentrated but without a very heavy oak. Fresh, shows some of the dark tea notes of Conterno. Works at $18 or so.
