  Drinking a Barbera d´Asti that works good with a full blown Tomahawk is pretty something. We enjoyed it big time - gave it 1 hour decant.

  From 75cl, good cork, double decanted 90 minutes. Big-bodied, texturally multi-layered Barbera with considerable aromatic complexity balancing the considerable sweetness; fine grippy tannins. A fantastic pairing with szechuan beef, but of course the sharp spices affected my perception of the wine. So no surprise that I remember heady eucalyptus, pine resin and brightly acidic red fruit, but the other TNs here tell a different story. But no doubt, this is terrific wine. 91-92P

  This is just something completely different from the light and easy to like barberas I’ve had before.
  
  The perfumed nose is just majestic with notes of dark cherries, tobacco, some anise. Still bright acidity 11 years in, though well balanced. Med+ body of ripe fruit, towards dark fruit and prunes.
  Mature fine tannins.
  
  Should have had this with duck, just gorgeous.

  Excellent again. Very ripe, but the acidity gives the wine a wonderful balance. Lots of depth.
