Community Tasting Note

novocane Likes this wine:

Tuesday, August 11, 2020 - One of my last couple bottles and the wine is improving still.

Third day. Bottle coated on the inside by a layer of sediment. Drinking outside with BBQ steak and sausage.

Turning into a deep garnet/tawney. Nose of ripe cherries, pear with a little petroleum and barn floor. The wine has certainly lost its vivacious young fruit taste, and tannins are pretty well done. But a subtler muted fruit is still there, with cherries, plum, pear, wild blackberries. The fruit lingers on your palette for a good thirty seconds, turning very dry in your mouth and triggering the saliva glands. The almost sweetness leaves you wanting another sip. The back has just a little bitterness and dryness to finish it off, with the lingering aftertaste again bringing you back for more.

This is the oldest barbera i've had and it's quite nice.
