  10/24/2023 - Fractalage Does not like this wine:

  Barbera is in my top 10 grapes for wine, but this one doesn’t hit it for me.
  I keep asking myself why. My palate says it’s not natural and has been manipulated. Tastes of chemicals and tastes off. Does not taste real to what wine can bring. Maybe this just needs time.
  
  Upon initial decant, the nose was of tart meats. As more air got put to it there were acetyl smells. There were some burnt notes of charr, dusts and some very black earth smells.
  
  On the palate was an astringent quality with nothing lush, but black fruit and black earth. I think this just needs time.
  
  Paid $30.
  I overpaid based on what I taste now.
  I really don’t like it.
  Maybe I’ve been spoiled with Bartolo Mascarello, and Burlotto.

  바닐라, 초콜릿, 연유, 검은 과실
  
  부드럽고 어떻게보면 약간은 느끼한
  유질감이 느껴진다
  
  타닌은 적고 산도는 중간정도에 묵직함도.
  
  직관적으로 맛있는 와인
  그렇지만 상큼한 바르베라를 원했던 기대와는 조금 다른.
  초반이 더 좋은 점도.

  Purchased 2 glasses off the list at Belotti in Oakland. Plush ripe fruit on the entry; lightweight in body; notes of sharp red and black over ripe fruit; a rather short and abrupt finish. Good. Goes well with food.

  Nice warm and slightly sweet blue plum character with hints of cask and herbs. Long and a bit mysterious / oriental.

  Tasted at Roberto's Restaurante; no formal tasting notes taken.
  Wine was pleasant and round with good and quite intense aroma ; the wine has a touch of modern winemaking, though not overdone .
  Very pleasantly round and smooth on the palate. Good aftertaste and mouthfeel.
