Rather light and little fruit, but reasonable with food (pork for us). A reasonable wine at the price. Always difficult to rate between like and dislike, so unless I drink a wine that really is horrid tend to say like!

Translucent ruby violet hue. Not particularly aromatic but with hints of cherry and earth. On the palate, it is light bodied and fruity with tart cherry and a bright acidity begging for food. The finish is short but it is a pleasant accompaniment to homemade pizzas.

Cherries, strawberries, and an angel's kiss in spring, this wine is really made from all these things. The low ratings seem a bit off. Enjoyed with Spaghetti alla Carbonara, worked very well with that dish. Tender balance of red fruit on nose and palate and acidity on the finish. Some lees in the bottom of the bottle/last glass (I take that as a good thing). Light and tasty, higher rating in part driven by QPR, Garagiste promotion at $16.00.

The cool vintage and hands-off winemaking show through in the freshness, purity, juiciness and mouthfeel of this brilliant barbera. Great with pizza, love the style!

Deep cherries and raspberries, good fruit. Clean and simple. Round acidity in the background, green herbs, short aftertaste. Lacks power to be really interesting imo.

Considerably better than last bottle imo. Still good fruit but now with some maturity to it and a smoother palate. Balanced acidity. Nice.

A private dinner (Restaurant Kasteel Heemstede *, Houten, Netherlands): Light and elegant, silky and creamy, bright acidity, soft acidity, notes of flowers and of tar, balanced and fresh, good length. Attractive in its easy way.

Fruity, cherry, slightly earthy, a bit short. Less acidity and more fruity, easy-going. A pure and honest barbera.
