This blew me away...balance, depth, and complexity that i didn't think was possible in a Barbera...the 15% abv isn't noticeable other than some slight legs in the glass...this is still a little tight on the nose but palate is amazing. Good but not dominant acidity, fruit is there but way in the background...at times it made me think of a mature, high-end Northern Rhone. This is not too young but with a long life still ahead. i bought 3 of these recently from an ex-cellar release and am kicking myself for not buying more.

based on this showing i won't be touching the recent vintages i have for 10+ years
