  My first four bottles had some must on the nose upon opening. Couple did not blow off.
  This one opened up beautifully. Definitely the best of the half case so far.
  Nice big round full Barbara d’Alba.

  After about 30 minutes the leather subsided on the nose leaving sweat oriental sauce, summer herbs and tart berries on the nose. Tart red fruits and soft tannins on the palate. Good acidity and freshness on the fruit. Finish is moderately long.

  Rich barbera, still fruit after 13 years. Love that I still have more bottles of this one.

  Still fruity nose, but recommended to drink within next few years

  Deep dark red.
  Rich plums, earthy, slightly meaty, blood and iron filings, some graphite. Lovely high toned floral scents, violet mainly.
  Plums, prunes, red cherry, deep fruit flavours. Some dark edges of graphite and tar. A very nice rich profile. Crisp acid and fine tannins, slightly tart on the finish. Enjoyable, robust drink.
