What's not to like? Strong sour cherry with exciting, but not overbearing, tannins. This may last forever. Decanted some three hours at another tasting and the astringency is better contained. Best for those truly dry wine lovers.

Give this sometime decanting. After three hours its coming around beautifully. Has a lot more stuffing than the everyday Barbera. Has more tannins than usual. Great one to cellar. I would have guessed this to be Barolo. Great dark cherry nose and palate too. This should last more than five more years, IMHO.

Heavy pepper mid palate and on the finish. Pepper overwhelms the fruit.
