Perfect acid balance and very soft tannins after a long ageing. (Definite need for a decant as the sediments have built up over the 10 years) Fruit is still vibrant and bright with violet, plum and graphite on the nose and an elegant berry taste with a medium finish.

Nose of black and blue fruits along with dust and pencil lead from the aged tannins. Pallet of plum and plum skin with spice box. Fairly seductive finish that lingers. This finally came into its own. Amazing QPR. Would buy again. 89-90 points.

This wine has been hyped in many corners but I thought it was just fine. Pretty standard inexpensive barbera.

Subtle and earthy, perfect for a mushroom risotto or antipasti.
