I liked this wine but it also seemed fairly generic. Red fruit on the nose. Cherry and licorice on the palate. Nice balance. Shortish finish. Nothing to offend but nothing that makes it distinctive. I don't get a sense it's going to improve with age.

Did not decant, 30 minutes in glass. Some haze, purple with brown tint color. Fruitl nose, smooth drinking, light/medium body, decent balance/flavers, good everyday Barbera.

I love older wines. This one was perfect. Do not wait.

Light flavors with a hint of spice and chalkiness. Perfect with pizza.

Great fruit nose with a bit of earth. Palate is classic barbera fruit, farily clean-tasting, with some tar and earth and big fruit.
