  May 24, 2009 - Un beau souvenir rapporté de la propriété en 2005.
  
  Nez sanguin qui évoque la viande, la confiture de mûres et les épices
  
  Bouche charnue, franche, épicée qui évoque certains vins du Rhône Sud un peu rustiques. L’aération l’affine, il demeure rustique mais montre une belle concentration sans rudesse, des arômes de fruits à noyaux et de romarin, une profondeur insoupçonnée. La finale est harmonieuse pour un vin si chaleureux. Un vin ample et généreux, fort sympathique. 89 pts

  May 16, 2009 - This is a refined Barbera, with an elegant nose displaying hints of dark cherries, earth, sipces, violets and other floral notes. The palate is very balanced, juicy, downright delicious, and yet restrained enough to keep this decidely out of the realms of fruit-bombs. No, sir. This is elegant, restrained, and very fine. The acidity cuts through (as you expect with Barbera), making this a great wine for pairing with barbecues and spicy foods. From now until 2013.

  November 25, 2005 - Gobs of mouth coating red fruit (especially cherries), supported by a nice refreshing acidity, some liquorice and herbs and just a hint of wood. Sweet tannins. Very balanced (much more so then the 2003 Rivertti or Boglietti Barbera's). More fruit even then the 2001 and just as balanced.
