Lovely wine - a lot of bright fruit with a hint of spice and tannins. Decanted about 45 minutes. Grabbed it on a weeknight for a cheese board we prepped, but I think it would suit pork or lighter meat dishes and probably some heartier tomato pastas.
Great QPR.

Dark reddish garnet in color, bordering on opaque. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of blueberries, cherries & mulberries with overtones of earthy/dusty & floral notes of violets, herbs, spices & minerals. Medium bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, blackberries & plums, spices & minerals. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing but should develop further with additional aging.

Nice wine, but high ABV for some reason -- 15.5%... Not typical for Barberas...

Excellent -- lots of spicey notes with dark and red fruit. Balancing acidity, easy drinking, great QPR. Definitely rebuy.
