  An impossibly good wine. Such good balance between vertical structure and grip and horizontal fruit depth with stunning deep purple color. You can hold it for a few more years but it’s in a pretty damn good spot so I would drink it and if you can find it for under $25.00 buy it. Buy it all.

  Strong and still quite tannic. Maybe needs a little more time to show full
  Potential.

  Cant really make peace with barbera as a grape. It rarely do it for me. Cant put a finger on the issue but maybe its just the unjustified compasion to nebbiolo.
  
  This was a little fizzy and a bit alcoholic. Didnt take notes though.

  Does not require decanting, a good spaghetti wine. Fruit forward and a little raisin on the finish. Not hot.

  Was a bit surprised by the concentration and full fruit in this wine. A bit too much for me. But well made and still young.
