  Classic Barbera. This had so much going on with the nose. Smoke, tar, dark rich fruits, hints of chocolate. Took about 2 hours to open up so i recommend decanting. Drinking perfectly, but i think this will sail on for 3 more years

  Concentrated, robust and taught. Strong earth and dusty fruit. Solid value.

  Ready to go, great complement to pizza. Balanced, acid has moderated and the wine has become more approachable and pleasurable. No sign of fading.
