This was much better than I expected, based on the prior comment. As it turned out, we quite enjoyed it. While it was acidic and hot at first taste, it didn't take long to open up in the glass. I decanted the balance and popped it into the fridge briefly. By the end of the evening the heat was undetectable, the acidity had tempered and fruit had emerged, with light tannins at the finish. Would buy again.

Typical acidity up front before mellowing out more. Notes of dried meat (salami?) and slight cherry. Full bodied; doesn’t coat the mouth. Below average Barbera.
