  The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are medium. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like cherry, red currant and vanilla. It tastes like red currant, cherry, mineral and vanilla. The body is medium. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has high acidity.

  Garnet and slight brownish in the glass. Blackcurrant, cherry, milk chocolate and a little vanilla in the nose that evolve significantly in the glass over short time. Juicy berry fruit in the mouth, soft chocolate, pronounced tannins, relatively long finish.

  En lydefri vin. Chokolade i duften. Mørke bær i smagen. Dekanteret i 2 timer og smagt op mod en californisk Pinot Noir som den krøllede. Passede fint til Osso Buco Milanese med polenta. Ikke meget udvikling i smag/duft. Vil formentlig ikke blive bedre og holde samme niveau i 5 år.

  Perfumy nose of red and dark fruit, elegant oaking, mushroomy earth, varnish and chocolate
  Fruity and supple on the mid-weight palate with perfumy character and some chocolate. Pretty lengthy.
  Rather nice Barbera. Good use of oak.
