Beautiful. Ruby body with some garnet on the rim. Nose of mainly cherry, blackberry, mint and violets, it smells cool despite the vintage/actual alcohol content. The palate has fresh tart cherry (but also shows some hints of development with dried cherry and kirsch), lots of blackberry, a touch of baking spice, and finishes very long with lots of blackberry. The structure (especially the density and acidity) are more reminiscent of Nebbiolo than of most Barbera. Glad I have more of this as it is just barely starting to mature.

Oaky nose with some delicate fruit. Lacking body and flavour. Thin and uninteresting. It doesn't seem closed, just lacking in anything at all really. Poor.
