Community Tasting Note

Thursday, September 25, 2014 - Camphor on the nose. On the palate, plum, raspberry, and blackberry, with savory herbal notes and some drying tannin on the medium finish, with moderate acidity. This is not an expensive Barbera, but it took an hour or so to open up, and it tastes like a serious wine that needs some time to settle down. It's drinkable now, but it improves with decanting, and it will probably improve further with a few years in the cellar. Very good value for the money.
