Decanted 2 hours in advance. Still purple. Rather harsh tannines and little fruit in the beginning and because of that the high acidity felt like even more. Opened up after second glass. Especially much more fruit in the mouth abd more balanced with acidity. Not expected but already quite a lot of sediment.

Not a big fan. Drunk over three nights and I kept hoping that would improve, open more, or show a pretty side, but it did not. I much preferred the 2016 Giuseppe Mascarello Barbera d'Alba Superiore Santo Stefano di Perno, which was brighter, fresher and more enjoyable. This, in comparison, was dark, earthy, monochrome.

No formal note, this is blueberry, blueberry, blueberry blueberry...........blueberry pie and good acidity with mild tannins.

Earthy, almost meaty. Barnyard, animalistic.
