Quite acidic. Needs more time? Otherwise everything is there: dark fruit, freshness, minerality, intensity.

Excellent food wine (pasta, tomato, chicken). Drink from old World syrah glass.
Fruit forward, nicely Tannic and a great finish when paired with really good food. Must buy more when I see it again as we rarely see it
Fruit forward more tannin and structure than the Dolcetto with raspberry notes
Fruit forward. More tannin and darker fruit than their Dolcetto
Coravin #1 - Just all dark baking chocolate and purple purple fruit. Amazing QPR and great with food. Hyper modern Italian, love it! Chambord on the finish.
These Altare Barberas always deliver gorgeous purple fruit. But this vintage is lacking the bright acidity that typically helps complete the package.
